We invite you to join us in our 2023-2024 Pledge Campaign: 
​Invest in Hope.  

This year our Campaign celebrates our beloved church community, programs and values. Erica Baron from the Unitarian Universalist Association recently conducted a series of interviews with members and staff.  The overwhelming majority of responses reflected the strength of community:

• Love of the people in the congregation
• Genuine welcome and a lack of judgmentalism
• Multigenerational nature of the community and common commitment to the wellbeing of children
• Closeness that remains open to newcomers.

The second most common theme was our commitment to values:

• Including appreciation for the congregation’s values 
• A commitment to vulnerable people
• Pride that First Parish “walks the walk”

Third prevalent theme was quality of programs:

• The variety and depth of programs, especially our wonderful child and adult education
• Our incredible music ministry
• Social justice work with genuine local impact at the Farmer’s Market, Chalice Thrift and Matthew Mission Food Pantry 

The church operates on an annual budget of approximately $180,000 which comes entirely from the generosity of our members and partners.  Without our contributions, the church simply would not continue to function.  

We invite each of you fill out the below form and to invest in the hope represented by the strengths listed above and help us meet this year’s three major pledge goals to the best of your ability.

Your pledge of support in whatever amount is right for you is gratefully accepted and greatly  appreciated. 

If you have any questions, please contact the church office by phone at 508.822.2107 or by email at office@firstparishtaunton.org.
