Shared Offering Team

Shared Offering is a vital part of the church's financial gifts and touches almost every aspect of our mission. Shared offering is part of the operations council and is led by Pat McClard.

Working with the various organizations that we donate to through shared offering provides many opportunities for inspiration right here in our community from people who are doing the work of building a beloved community. All of the organizations that we support are voted on by the congregation and chosen because they support the church's mission. 

A great part of the shared offering program is that we can target our donations based on an organization’s own calendar and needs. In 2024, with the Israel/Hamas conflict only 3 months old, we decided to make the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund the first organization that we served because of the urgent need. Midwest Access Coalition, an organization that helps women who need abortions get to states that still offer them, was also chosen earlier in the year because of the urgent needs in that area prompted by the Roe v. Wade decision. Likewise, we decided to give our offering to Uniting Pride of Champaign in June to coincide with Pride Month.
