Building Pledge Campaign

Making Room for God's Family

The gospel announces that God, by grace, is gathering a people for himself. In purchasing the property next door, we are making room for the family God is already growing among us. It will be a place where those exploring faith can know Jesus, where God's people can grow in maturity, and from which we can go and serve Christ and make Him known to the world.

We need your help! Would you be willing to partner with us?

Help Us Plan for the Future

As part of securing the loan for this property purchase, we need to demonstrate to the Presbyterian Church of Victoria (PCV) the level of financial commitment from our congregation. Your pledge helps us plan wisely and shows our collective faith in what God is doing among us.

Why Register a Pledge?

It's not a legal commitment — A pledge is an expression of intent, not a binding contract. Circumstances change, and we understand that.
It helps us plan — Knowing the level of support helps church leadership make informed decisions about the purchase timeline and loan arrangements.
It's a loan requirement — The PCV needs to understand the congregation's commitment before approving the financing.
It encourages others — When people see others committing, it builds confidence and momentum across the church family.
