Resources for Giving
Thank you for participating in our Annual Appeal.
Your pledge to support Acton Congregational Church in 2027 helps to support programs, outreach, and church operational costs.
Pledges allow us to be active inside our Congregation and outside in our community. The types of programs and events listed below are a small sample of some of the things that generous pledges have helped support in the past.
What Your Pledges Support

How to Pledge
Each year, we provide pledge cards during our Annual Appeal. These pledge cards are your promise to support the church in the amount that is right for you. The pledge card provides three frequency options - weekly, monthly, or a single annual gift. Please complete the contact portion of the pledge card so that we may keep our roster current.
ACC collects and records these promises of support and uses them to plan and budget for the upcoming year.
Print your pledge card and complete your pledge.
To submit your physical pledge card, you can:
-
In person: Place it in the Pledge Card Box on the Opportunity Table at the back of the Sanctuary, or bring it for the special collection on Stewardship Sunday, October 18.
-
By mail: Send it to:
Acton Congregational Church
12 Concord Road
Acton, MA 01720
Attn: Annual Appeal -
By email: Take a photo of your completed Pledge Card and send it to finance@actonc.org.
Check out our Narrative Budget Resource for 2027 to see where your pledges make an impact on the daily life of Acton Congregational Church, your experience as a member, and for the community beyond our doors.
We understand that you may have many questions about making your pledge for the upcoming year, so we have created a brief document to answer many of the most frequently posed questions. We hope you find it helpful.
Consider Electronic Giving
We also encourage everyone making a financial commitment to consider the convenience of electronic giving.
Even if you plan to give electronically, please complete a pledge card during the stewardship campaign. Your pledge helps the church plan responsibly for the coming year.
Beginning on January 1st, 2027, you can set up your 2027 electronic giving at
www.actonc.org. Click “Donate,” then “Online Giving,” and select “2027 Unified Pledge.” Please set your 2027 pledge to begin January 1, 2027. And remember to ensure that your 2026 electronic pledge has an end date!
If you would like help setting up electronic giving, check the appropriate box on your pledge card or contact the church office. We are happy to assist.
Should you wish to prepay any part of your 2027 pledge, please contact finance@actonc.org for details.
No matter where we are on our faith journey, Acton Congregational Church remains for us an open and warm place where we will continue to gather, learn, support, celebrate, mourn, remember, share and care for each other. Help us sustain our ACC community in 2027 with your pledge.
