Giving

There are several ways to give back to Holy Covenant:

• Prayers
• Presence
• Gifts (read on for information on this topic)
• Service
• Witness

We invite you to be a part of our pledging community. As a congregation, we are able to do our exciting work of ministry because of our generous giving.  When the giving is pledged, we are better able to budget and plan so that we can do more with our money.

Interested in pledging your gifts?

Pledge Online (even if you prefer to pay via cash/check, you can still pledge online).

If you have any questions about the pledging/giving process, feel free to contact the stewardship committee.

Writing a check?

• Make the check payable to:
  Holy Covenant United Methodist Church
  925 Diversey Pkwy
  Chicago, IL 60614
• If you would like to give to a specific area of ministry (see below), please use the memo/for space on the check

Considering increasing your gift?

If each of us found a way to give even $5 more a week to the operating budget of the church, the gifts would add up to over $50,000 extra for ministry per year!
