Salt House FY27 Pledge Drive
The Salt House FY27 pledge campaign is underway! You’re invited to take part in our annual pledge campaign as we shape the vision and budget for the year ahead together. Your pledge—whether continuing, changing, or beginning—helps us plan faithfully and discern what’s possible for our shared ministry.
Please submit your pledge and be part of guiding the next chapter of our life as a community.

Here are the Details:
- Pledging is helpful as we plan our budget and dream about the future! This Pledge campaign serves as a way for the community to express both financial support and vision for staffing going forward!
- Budget goal for the year: $455,000, with a progress tracker to monitor pledges
- Past trends: pledges reach 60–80% of goal, while actual giving ends up higher (around 88–95% of budget)
- Past trends: pledges reach 60–80% of goal, while actual giving ends up higher (around 88–95% of budget)
- This campaign is on a shorter pledge timeline this year, so early participation is important.
- Church navigating unusual circumstances: staff turnover, unexpected expenses, and property questions
- The Wisdom Council has been discerning priorities; results will be shared at the June 14 annual meeting
- Hiring additional staff (pastor/deacon) would require a congregational process and synod approval
- Estimated cost of new staff: $120,000–$200,000 annually; about $50,000 needed in next year’s budget for partial-year flexibility
- Current budget does not include this additional staffing cost
- 65% pledge participation supports the base budget; 75% would signal capacity to explore hiring
