Resources for Giving
Thank you for participating in our Annual Appeal. Your pledge to support Acton Congregational Church in 2025 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.

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:
-
Drop it in the Pledge Card Box during Services on October 20, 2024.
-
Drop it off to the Church Office during office hours.
-
Mail it to Annual Appeal, Acton Congregational Church, 12 Concord Road, Acton, MA 01720.
-
Take a picture of your completed pledge card and email it to finance@actonc.org.
Check out our Narrative Budget Resource for 2025 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.
Along with your mailed stewardship materials, you will also receive a Church Directory Update Form and an Interests and Superpowers survey. Should you need additional copies of those two forms, please download them using the buttons below.
Consider Electronic Giving
We encourage everyone who is making a financial commitment to consider electronic giving. To do so, click on the "Online Giving” button below or on our main Donations page. So that the church may record your pledge properly, please complete out a pledge card even if you give electronically.
If you would like assistance setting up electronic giving, check the box on the commitment card, or contact the church office.
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 2025 with your pledge.
