Annual Budget
Overbrook Presbyterian Church has an annual budget of around $450,000 that supports all of our programs and ministries. The budget is funded by a variety of different sources. Investment income from endowment funds, rental of space to outside users, fundraisers—all of these are important. However, the vast majority comes from contributions from members and friends. Every gift truly matters, however large or small.
Making a Pledge
Each year in the fall, members of the congregation are invited to make a pledge or estimate of giving for the coming year, indicating their level of financial commitment. This allows the Session of the church to prepare the annual budget, based on a reasonable expectation of income for the next year. Pledge amounts are kept confidential. If you would like to make a pledge, please contact our Financial Secretary or click here to make your pledge online.
