Support our mission by contributing a donation.
General Fund
Gifts to the General Fund support the day-to-day life and ministry of Goshen Congregational Church. Your contributions help keep the lights on and the doors open, sustain worship and pastoral care, maintain our building, and support outreach and the many small, faithful acts that make this community what it is. When you give to the General Fund, you strengthen the whole body of the church and allow us to respond flexibly wherever the need is greatest. You may choose a one-time gift or set up a weekly, monthly, or annual donation.
Capital Fund
The Capital Fund supports the long-term care and improvement of our historic church buildings. Contributions to this fund make possible major projects such as restoring the portico, addressing structural needs, and expanding accessibility so that all may enter and participate fully in the life of the church. These projects are significant investments, often planned years in advance, and gifts to the Capital Fund help ensure that our physical spaces remain safe, welcoming, and faithful to their purpose for generations to come.
Music Fund
The Music Fund supports the musical life of the church, an essential part of our worship and spiritual expression. Gifts to this fund help provide music for worship services, maintain and improve instruments, support guest musicians, and sustain special services and concerts that enrich both the congregation and the wider community. Through music, we give voice to prayer, joy, lament, and praise—and your support helps keep that voice strong.
