Your estimate of giving is an important part of how we respond to God’s generosity together. An estimate of giving isn’t a contract; it’s a statement of faith. It’s your opportunity to prayerfully consider how you will offer your blessings back to God and to the church in the coming year. Just as our gifts are an expression of gratitude and trust, your estimate helps the church plan wisely and be good stewards of all that we share.

Many of us find it helpful to give the same way we pray—regularly and intentionally. After you return your Estimate of Giving, you can set up automated donations through the church’s secure Give Online portal. It’s simple, dependable, and helps Sterling UMC plan ministry well throughout the year.

Your place at Sterling UMC has never depended on what you can give—only that you are part of this community of faith. We understand that circumstances can change, and that giving looks different for everyone. You can always adjust your commitment as your circumstances change.
