In 2024 we rebooted our youth ministry. Our Vacation Bible School enrollment rebounded to pre-pandemic levels. Your financial commitment will help our ministries with children and youth really take off next year.
Our Social Connection ministry for neighbors with disabilities is thriving. The Social Connection’s “Music of Connection Chime and Vocal Choir” will bring Christmas cheer to Kings Court and to Sunday worship this December! Your pledge to the annual budget will strengthen this creative new ministry in 2025 while sustaining our rich tradition of sacred music.
First Presbyterian Church offers Christlike compassion to people in places as close as the Camden County Jail and as far away as impoverished overseas communities. Your generous commitment will help us lay plans to expand our mission in 2025.
This congregation has had a long tradition of hosting seminary student interns. With your support we will revive that tradition next year. Their gifts and enthusiasm for ministry will be a blessing for us. We, in turn, will bless them by providing them with a joyful and compassionate environment where they can hone their skills for future service to Christ’s church.
Ruling elder and Mission Committee chairperson Caroline Yount shares good news about the many ways your generosity brings compassionate comfort to our fellow human beings.
Joan Fiorella, the chairperson of our Board of Deacons, invites you think about how the gift of your time can mean so much to others.

Use the link below to make an online pledge to our 2025 budget. We are asking first time pledgers to pledge at least $10 per week. If you have pledged before, we are asking you to increase your commitment by 5% for 2025. Members should look for a letter in early November with a pledge card in it. If you'd rather pledge with pen and paper, fill out that card, and bring it to the Consecration Sunday worship service on November 17. There will be a procession during the final hymn. Bring the card forward at that time. Or do both! Pledge online, and on the 17th, bring forward one of the pledge cards available in the sanctuary. Just write "I pledged online" on your card.
