Pentecost Offering

April 21-June 8, 2025

Supporting at-risk children, youth and young adults. 

Give Today

The Pentecost Offering unites us in a church-wide effort to support young people and inspire them to share their faith, ideas, and unique gifts with the church and the world. Psalm 71 testifies that a foundation of faith established during childhood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. The patterns and lessons established during these formative years continue to bear fruit throughout a person's life. By receiving the Pentecost Offering, you are nurturing the faith of children, youth, and young adults.

  • 40% is retained by congregations to support work with at-risk children, youth and young adults in their local community. 
  • 50% supports ministries with youth and young adults. 
  • 10% supports child advocacy/children at risk.
