Annual Pledges
We work together to make First Parish of Watertown a vibrant and empowering place for all who enter our doors. We serve in our church with time, talent, and generosity of spirit. We strive to live our values in the broader community as well, taking part in community service with groups and as individuals, and bringing our whole selves to the world outside. We commit to provide our financial support to First Parish.
Through pledges, we commit to provide our financial support to First Parish. Our generous financial contributions to First Parish are essential to the ongoing success and growth of all our programs and all we do together as a faith community.
Annual Pledge Campaign
A pledge is your promise to make a contribution in support of the operating budget of the church. Pledges from our members and friends are the major source of income for the church’s operating budget each year.
The annual appeal and pledge period runs each year from late February to the end of March. The Annual Appeal Pledge Drive 2026 was a success! By the end of March 2026, 95 pledges from members and friends committed $295,640 to support First Parish – new records for both participation and financial total. Pledge payments happen throughout the church’s fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2027.
Pledgers may check their giving history and pledge progress throughout the year from their Breeze accounts. All pledge information is confidential. If your financial situation changes during the year, you can modify your pledge by contacting the Treasurer.
However, it’s still possible to make a pledge for the current year. Use the Pledge Now button to make a pledge. If you pay by check, be sure to indicate in the memo section that this is a pledge payment.
Thanks for your support of First Parish of Watertown.
