WHY YOUR GIVING MATTERS

Financial stewardship is an act of worship and faith that helps sustain our worship, programs, events, and daily operations. Your generous support not only maintains our current ministries, but your stewardship pledge allows us to plan ahead and expand our ministries by serving others within our congregation and outside our walls in our local and global communities.

Our Pastors and Elders warmly invite you to join us for Worship on Sunday, November 2, as we celebrate Pledge Dedication Sunday.

what your giving will support in 2026

Lake Grove Kids

Our goal at LGK is simple, and it is to help kids discover they are loved by Jesus and that they have a place in God’s story. Your giving supports children's discipleship curriculum materials, training, programming, family ministries, and library support.

Lake Grove Youth

Our Lake Grove Youth is a place where every student is invited to experience the love and welcome of Jesus. Your giving supports youth discipleship curriculum materials, training, programming, family ministries, and library support.

Adult Discipleship

For adults, we offer many opportunities to learn, grow, and connect through Men’s and Women’s Bible studies, adult education classes, and small groups. Your giving supports adult discipleship curriculum materials, training, programming, family ministries, and library support.

Noah's Ark Preschool

Noah’s Ark preschool provides exceptional early childhood education to children ages two to five. The program includes extended care and summer camps. Monthly chapel time for the students, their families, and teachers includes singing, story, and prayer. Noah’s Ark is a self-funding program.

Missions

Our Missions ministry actively supports evangelistic efforts to reach unbelieving people and people groups in our church, community, region, nation, and world with the gospel of Jesus Christ in a culturally sensitive way. We help provide Food, Water, and Shelter in the name of Christ to the poor, marginalized, and dispossessed. Lake Grove supports 12 local and 5 international mission organizations. At least 10% of your budgetary giving supports our mission partners. Your giving allows us to send relief to war-torn areas and to victims of flooding. In addition, Lake Grove supports special offerings throughout the year. In the past 12 months, we have collected $34,098 in support of these offerings.

Congregational Care

At Lake Grove, our Care Ministry is a community committed to extending Christ’s love through care and compassion. Whether it’s delivering a meal, offering a prayer, supporting someone in grief, or celebrating a new beginning, we offer support that reaches far beyond Sunday mornings, ensuring no one walks alone. This vital ministry is made possible through the faithful coordination of our Care Team, working hand-in-hand with Deacons, Stephen Ministers, and dedicated volunteers. Your giving helps fund our kitchen supplies and food, fellowship activities, grief support materials, and Deacons and Stephen Ministry Support.

Worship & Music

Music Ministry provides children, youth, and adults with significant opportunities for spiritual growth. Through traditional hymns, contemporary songs, and special worship music, we create space for the entire congregation to participate in praise and prayer. Your giving supports instrument maintenance, music licensing fees, music purchasing, musician stipends, and equipment maintenance needed to create inspiring worship experiences.

Building & Grounds

Our Property Ministry maintains and enhances our physical spaces to welcome all who enter our doors. Through regular maintenance and safety improvements, we ensure our building serves as a true sanctuary for worship, learning, and fellowship. Our Property team works with contractors, volunteers, and staff to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional for our diverse programming needs. Your giving funds building maintenance, janitorial services, utilities, insurance, landscaping, equipment maintenance, and cleaning supplies. We’ve seen a continued rise in costs related to insurance, utilities, and property maintenance. We have projected additional funds to address these needs in the upcoming year.

Administrative, Technology & Communication Ministry

Our Administration ministry provides essential operational support that enables all other ministries to flourish effectively. Through bookkeeping, insurance management, staff support, technology maintenance, and communication coordination, we create the foundation that allows our church to focus on ministry rather than administrative burdens. Your giving funds IT support, technology upgrades, accounting services, bank fees, per capita fees, communication tools, and office supplies.

Stewardship by the Numbers

For 2026, our goal is to receive $2.25 million in pledged commitments, reflecting a 10% increase over last year. Why the increase? God is moving in our midst. We’re welcoming new members, preparing to call a new Senior Pastor, and navigating the rising costs of ministry in today’s world.

As we look ahead to 2026, the total projected expenses to support the vibrant ministries of Lake Grove Presbyterian Church are $2.9 million. These funds enable everything from worship and mission outreach to spiritual formation and care for our growing congregation.

We invite you to prayerfully consider how you might support this mission—not only with your time and talents, but with your financial gifts. Your generosity fuels the ministry we share and allows us to faithfully respond to God’s call in this next season.
