Investing in our Greatest Resource
Giving to the Pentecost Offering makes it possible for the church to encourage, develop, and support its young people, and address the needs of at-risk children. A large portion of this offering can be retained by individual congregations wanting to make an impact in the lives of young people within their own community.
Your gifts to the Pentecost Offering help support:
Young Adult Volunteers | Ministries for Youth | Child Advocacy

Thanks for the feedback, Amanda! We're really glad you were able to use this year's vid during service. We've been tweaking our approach to these videos a bit, so it's encouraging to get such a positive response =)

This is a great video! Good job!! We use videos in worship frequently, not typically the PCUSA ones--so we were pleasantly surprised by this one! It was well received by our congregation-- and if yo can please people in Hollywood/LA you know you've done well. Nice work.

Judy, 40 percent of the Pentecost Offering receipts are retained by congregations, and 60 percent is forwarded to the General Assembly for ministries with children at risk (10%), ministries with youth (25%) and young adults (25%).
