The Pentecost Offering helps our youth begin life with a strong start – a solid foundation of faith formed in the years from childhood through young adulthood.
Ways to Give:
- Through your congregation (by mailing contributions to the church office or donating at our Pentecost Drive-In Service)
- Text YOUNG to 56512 to learn more or to donate

A foundation of faith established during childhood through adulthood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. When you give to the Pentecost Offering, you are helping to provide opportunities for young people to grow and share in their faith in Christ.
Blessings,
Spring Branch Presbyterian Church
