Moving Forward Together:

Our entire community is experiencing this difficult time and even more so now we recognize how vitally important it is for us to continue to be a Christ centered community together. Please consider how you might stay connected through online worship or other ways. Through these efforts, our goal is to be committed to fighting the spread of COVID-19 while at the same time discover new ways to still stay connected as a community of faith.

 

Finally, we want to offer a friendly reminder to please continue to consider your regular weekly offering during these difficult times when we are not gathering regularly for worship. Our congregation will continue to have our regular financial obligations such as the general operating budget and monthly mortgage responsibilities. Thank you for considering one of the following ways:

 

• The church office will remain open during regular business hours, Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Offering envelopes can be dropped off at the office window or the secure 'drop-box' in the main office.

• Mail your offering to our address at 1141 Cardinal Street, Chaska, MN, 55318.

• Get signed up for automated giving; contact our Director of Finance, Ashley Pederson for more details at

• Try our "Text to Give" by sending a text to our secure account at 833-497-3991.

 

Your financial gifts are always appreciated and support our congregational needs through this difficult time.

 

As we move forward in the coming days we will keep all those who have been directly impacted by COVID-19 in our prayers and ask that you keep our entire community of faith in your daily prayers.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact one of our pastors:
