MEMBER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
In our ongoing effort to be good stewards and to serve our church family with excellence, we are introducing a Membership ID Number for each member, effective January 28, 2025.
This step is being taken to help us lovingly and accurately record each member’s faithful giving, especially as we have experienced challenges with contributions submitted under varying names or with incomplete envelope information.
We kindly ask that members include their Membership ID Number on all giving envelopes, as well as in the memo line for electronic giving and checks.
Thank you for your continued generosity, cooperation, and commitment to the work of the ministry. Your faithfulness truly makes a difference.
