FY26 Pledge Drive: Tending Our Garden of Commitment

Each Spring, we hold a pledge drive which provides an approximation of member giving for the upcoming fiscal year. While the fy26 drive has concluded, it is not too late to add a pledge! Please use the online form provided on this page, or feel free to fill out a card if you are visiting us in person. It can be handed to a member of our Stewardship team, or left in the mailbox at the Church Office door.

We are grateful to all who are part of the First Church community and for the ways that you help create this increasingly vibrant place for worship, fellowship and social action. Everyone’s contribution, whether of time, money, or both, makes the First Church in Salem the welcoming place that it is.
