Giving to
Park Ridge Community Church
None of the work we do at our church would be possible without God moving the hearts of our people to give. Your generosity helps create a church where people feel welcomed, led, and loved—a place where life-changing stories are being written every week. On behalf of those stories, thank you for giving from your heart.
We are committed to making a difference in the lives of our our members and those in the greater community through our worship, education and outreach programs. See below for the variety of ways you can help to support the ministries of PRCC:
MEMORIAL GIFTS
Honor a loved one as a celebration of one’s life at passing, at an anniversary or birthday, or just to say thanks. Gifts in memorial of loved ones will be used for special projects at the church and beyond to honor the lives of our Saints.
Learn more by visiting our Funerals tab.
ANNUAL PLEDGE

LEGACY
GIVING
For more than 100 years, legacies and bequests have played an important part in funding many of PRCC initiatives and special projects. Gift through a will, charitable trust, or other charitable planned gift is a great way to leave a legacy gift, ensuring the future ministry and impact of PRCC. One of the simplest and most popular ways is to leave a gift to the church in your will or trust; gifting of assets such as stocks, securities, real estate, or life insurance.

WHY GIVE?
As people of God we give because God has given so much to us. God doesn't need our money, but God does want what it represents: our purposes, passions, and priorities. We give to make a Kingdom impact locally in Park Ridge, in Chicagoland, across the country, as well as globally through mission efforts.
We give to increase the Kingdom through our generosity so that others may experience God's abundant love!
LOCALLY
Your contributions make an impact right here, right now. Through changing lives in our ministries and programs, to stocking the food pantry, providing for those needing emergency assistance, supporting the local church fund at the Police Department, and supporting a variety of local relief efforts, your donations are making an impact right here.
GLOBALLY
When Jesus commissioned his disciples before His ascension, He said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
Through our connection through the United Church of Christ, we support collective efforts to make a difference around the world, including supporting new congregations, responding to war torn areas, feeding regions that suffer famine and more!
