Special Offerings

Offerings that Change the World

The Special Offerings are the single, largest way Presbyterians join together to make a lasting impact in the world. Let’s be the Church, together.

Get Started

One Great Hour of Sharing

Serve the "least of these" among us by providing relief to those affected by catastrophic events, giving sustainable food resources to the hungry, and changing the structures that perpetuate poverty, oppression, and injustice.

Pentecost Offering

Help the church encourage, develop, and support its younger members to build a life of faith with a foundation established during childhood.

Peace & Global Witness Offering

Provides tools and resources for the Church as we join together as active peacemakers at all times in all ways, like the reconciliation work in South Sudan, international advocacy at the UN, or a peace camp for kids in New Jersey.

Christmas Joy Offering

Respond to God's perfect gift, Jesus Christ, by providing assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need and developing future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.

As a pastor and a Christian, I really appreciate the Special Offerings because they make it possible for a single congregation to participate in larger work that we would not be able to do on our own.
