Strengthen the Church

Strengthen The Church (STC) is a special mission offering to reimagine and build the future of the United Church of Christ. Shared at the conference and national levels, STC largely supports youth ministries and full-time leaders for new churches in parts of the country where the UCC voice has not been heard.
As God calls our congregations to be the “church” in new ways, your generosity will plant new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches and develop the spiritual life in our youth and young adults. Monies given to “Strengthen the Church” will also be used to award grants to help congregations communicate the “God is still speaking,” message. In a celebratory response to God’s gift of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, you are invited to share in this vision and growth of the church through a financial gift to the Strengthen the Church Offering on May 15th (Pentecost Sunday). Your gift will plant new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches, and develop spiritual life in our youth and young adults. Because of this offering, many more will hear the good news that “God is still speaking.”
