Give to Forest Hill

Thank you for giving to the mission and vision of Forest Hill.

For the year 2025, we’re guided by the words from the book of Genesis:

“God will send their angel with you
and make your journey a success”
(based on Genesis 24:40)

Whenever an angel appears in the Bible, you know something special is about to happen. People are called, life changes, a powerful purpose is laid out in front of a person. Or a church, perhaps, our church. Angels know they serve God. They are wise, patient, joyous, modest, mighty, obedient, motivating. Angels have wings, wings to create change. They are, or can be, us. The exciting process toward new pastoral leadership is underway, so it’s upon us to continue to do everything that is vital for the church and to further our active role in the community.

Ways to Give

Pledging

A Pledge is a commitment to contribute a specific amount to the church’s annual budget for the year. Some people’s household income lends itself to giving on a regular basis: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Other people’s income is sporadic or fluctuating, and they meet their yearly pledge as they can throughout the year. Either way, making a stated commitment for the coming year:

  • enables our leadership to plan wisely and set a realistic budget for the coming year.
  • creates a mechanism for our personal accountability.
  • demonstrates that we are sincerely dedicated to the ministry and mission of our faith family.
