Your 2025 Pledge
Because we want to be responsible stewards for the future, we are developing a comprehensive budget for our next seasons of ministry. This budget is funded by the generosity of attenders and friends, primarily through annual commitments. Pledges (or annual commitments) are especially important because they help us estimate the resources available and plan accordingly.

Why I Give…
“Church is something I believe and I believe requires money to exist even when I am frustrated by my income, my church and my god”
“God has called me to serve this extraordinary church through prayer, presence, gifts, service, and my witness. I am honored to give to a church that is bold, inclusive, relevant, and filled with God's love.”
“I believe that the mission and values of Urban Village Church position us to change lives and to renew faith that has been burned out.”
“I give because I can come as my fullest self, serve and know that God loves me and accepts me just as I am. I’m truly blessed to be a part of this community.”
“I give to spread Jesus’ love through the inclusive community we’ve created.”
“I give to UVC because I believe in/support what UVC does for its members, the community, and those on the margins. I started to give more this year because I am listening to God and give as a way of showing gratitude to The Lord. Thanks.”
“Our world needs the message of inclusive love, but especially the south side! UVC is our second home. It is here where we are spiritually fed, find community that loves us in our fullness, and experience connection with our community. Giving is one small way we can give back/support the community that gives us so much!”
“We believe in UVC and its mission. And we believe where our money is, so go our hearts.”
“We give as a way to keep our “skin in the game”. Because UVC aligns with our values AND pushes us to grow in our faith as we continue to understand more and more God’s love for us and for the world.”
“We give as this is our home church.”
“UVC is our second home. It is here where we are spiritually fed, find community that loves us in our fullness, and experience connection with our community. Giving is one small way we can give back/support the community that gives us so much!”
”I appreciate the community I’ve found through UVC. In such a short time, I’ve been embraced by this group of people and welcomed to learn and get closer to God with some wonderful people.”
“We believe in the bold, inclusive, relevant ministry of UVC and it is our church home.”
“We are grateful for the community UVC West offers our family.”

Letter from Jonathan Grace, Lead Pastor -
Welcome Urban Village Church family and friends!
We are in an exciting time in the life of UVC. As we look into the future, we know that God is guiding the church into a new era of growth, community, and service. Urban Village Church has a beautiful history of inclusivity, innovation, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with a world that needs to experience the love of God. We are thankful that in this new era we will continue to be a church centered on being bold, inclusive, and relevant.
UVC truly lives into its mission of creating Jesus-loving, inclusive communities that ignite the city and beyond. In 2025, we are going to fulfill this mission by creating the space for people to experience the goodness of God’s grace, healing, and love. We are committed to nurturing authentic relationships, spiritual growth, and transforming our communities.
As you can see, the church is dedicated to loving and serving the congregation, our neighbors, and our neighborhoods. We are asking you to commit to this vision for the future of the church by providing a pledge for 2025. We need the funding to fulfill the mission that God has called us to, and by gaining the pledges we need now, we will not have to focus on fundraising during the year. Every minute spent supplementing the budget in 2025 is time taken away from sharing the Good News of Christ in our communities.
To make your pledge and to make a one-time contribution to UVC, click on Give — Urban Village Church and support the vision of your church. Together, let’s bring healing and hope to our world.
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Jonathan Grace
Lead Pastor of UVC
