Rev. Dr. Russ Peterman invites us to look at giving from a different perspective—not simply as meeting the needs of the church, but as a reflection of our own spiritual lives. Jesus spoke often about money and possessions because how we relate to what we have reveals the condition of our hearts. At University Christian Church, generosity is a core value and central to what it means to follow Jesus. As you prayerfully consider your giving, this reflection invites you to think about what is most central in your life—and what that says about your heart.
At University Christian Church, generosity isn’t just about meeting needs—it’s a reflection of the heart. As one of our core values, we believe giving is central to following Jesus.
We respond to God’s abundance with gratitude, as we invest in God’s calling for our community. Our giving doesn’t begin and end with our finances. We commit our spiritual gifts and talents back to God.
University Christian Church is able to worship, serve, and grow because of the faithful generosity of those who came before us and those who give today. Every space, ministry, and moment of care exists because people believed in who God is calling UCC to be.
Our church is sustained not by a few, but by the steady generosity of many. Every gift matters. We invite you to prayerfully consider making a pledge and being part of what God is building for the future.
