Pledge

Together We Thrive is First Parish Church Duxbury’s annual pledge campaign
covering the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026. More importantly, a pledge during Together We Thrive is a statement that you believe in First Parish’s mission and goals, share our values, and support our community.
First Parish members and friends come from all walks of life and many
different backgrounds. Our activities, programs and discussions are enriched
by our diverse experience, interests, and expertise. Likewise, our community
and mission thrive when everyone’s pledges are pooled together.
Sharing our resources allows us to reaffirm together through our worship,
education and service, First Parish’s commitments to justice, equity and
compassion, and to the free and responsible pursuit of truth and spiritual
growth.

    What is a Pledge?

    A pledge is a financial promise that members and  friends make to First Parish

    Church, a tangible way to say you share our community’s values and goals

    and think our work is worth supporting.

    How are funds spent?

    Your pledge supports and sustains Church operations and guarantees the continue work of our valued staff, as well as contributions to local and national Unitarian Universalist organizations. Click here to see our typical allocation of funds.

    How much should I pledge?

    Choose the amount that is right for you or your household; each pledge is
    important no matter the size!  Below, check out how our community came together in during last year’s drive—93 households contributed just over $196,000, with an average pledge of $2,110. To help your pledge stay current with rising costs, we encourage you to increase your pledge each year as able.
    Our community thrives when we all contribute generously!

    How do I pay my pledge?

    Your pledge is for the full church year (July  to June ) and can be paid weekly, monthly, annually or at any interval you choose. You can fulfill your pledge by:

    1. VANCO ONLINE: https://secure.myvanco.com/YGP9/home
    2. CHECK – place your check (payable to First Parish Church) in the plate during a church service OR mail to the church – Attn: Treasurer, P.O. Box 1764, Duxbury, MA 02331. A note in the memo line stating “pledge” is helpful!
    3. AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS – A great way to pay toward your commitment is by setting up automatic payment through your own bank account (this costs the church little and provides steady income year-round). You can do that yourself through your bank or we can set up automatic withdrawals for you. Automatic credit card withdrawals can also be arranged.
    4. CASH – To have cash contributions applied toward your pledge, please place the cash in an envelope and mark with your name. Place the envelope in the plate or give to Lenore at the church office.
