Giving

People who are not involved in Trustees or Council often wonder what is our financial state. In past years as we were adopting a Ministry Funding Plan we often did not have the pledges to cover everything. Where do we stand?

So many ministries are part of First Congregational Church. Below are just a few examples of how your gifts and pledges serve. If your ministry is interested in requesting funds for 2026 programs, fill out the form and send it to bookkeeper@fccb.net no later than October 31, 2025. Please be sure to coordinate with others in your ministry so only one request is submitted.

Isolation and loneliness remain active in our world and in Bellingham.  Our congregation, our church family, is providing opportunities for us to remember and connect to belonging. We belong to each other, to our congregation, our neighbors, young people, immigrants, and other populations at risk including women, indigenous and people of color.
