Annual Budget
Overbrook Presbyterian Church has an annual budget of around $500,000 that supports all of our programs and ministries. The budget is funded by a variety of different sources. Investment income from endowment funds, rental of space to outside users, fundraisers—all of these are important. However, the vast majority comes from contributions from members and friends. Every gift truly matters, however large or small.
Making a Pledge
Each year in the fall, members of the congregation are invited to make a pledge for the coming year, indicating their level of financial commitment. This allows the Session of the church to prepare the annual budget, based on a reasonable expectation of income for the next year. Pledge amounts are kept confidential. If you would like to make a pledge, please contact our Financial Secretary.
Faith in the Future II
In 2009, Overbrook Presbyterian Church launched a major $1,000,000 capital campaign called “Faith in the Future II,” to address much-needed improvements to our building. These include a new roof, air conditioning in the Sanctuary, a wheelchair lift, abatement of asbestos, restoration of the pipe organ, improved signage, and technology upgrades. These projects are making Overbrook Presbyterian Church a safer, more welcoming, more accessible, more beautiful place, and are preserving it for future generations. To make a gift to Faith in the Future II, please contact our Financial Secretary.

Planned Giving
Some church members may wish to include Overbrook Presbyterian Church in their estate planning, to help ensure the long-term financial health and stability of the church. A variety of giving options are available, including bequests in wills, charitable gift annuities, and charitable remainder trusts. These kinds of gifts are a great blessing to future generations. They may also provide financial benefits to the donor, such as lifetime income from an annuity, tax savings, and simplified financial management. If you are interested in exploring these options, please contact our Financial Secretary for more information.
