FAITH PROMISE GIVING
Our missions budget is supported by faith promises and separate from our general operating budget. Pledge cards are sent to CLPC members through the mail before the annual missions conference and cards are also distributed during the annual missions conference in March. The Mission committee develops a mission budget based on the projected money pledged by CLPC members. A faith promise is an agreement we make with God to give to missions. It's a promise because of the commitment to provide a certain amount over a specific time period (usually a year) for missions. It requires faith because we are trusting God to provide these funds in various ways.
