Support our Ministry & Mission

We invite members of our community to return their thanks to God by giving of their time, talents, and treasure. To consider how you could share your time and talents, click here to learn more about how you might be called to serve and look at ways to Connect at Muhlenberg through our Ministries. We are also a community busy serving in our area and reaching out to folks in need around the world - To financially support our mission and ministry, in addition to giving in more traditional methods (like the offering plate, envelopes, etc.), we also have available an automated giving method called Simply Giving. You can enroll easily, change or stop these contributions at any time, and schedule them for any time period.

"Why I Give" Video Testimonials

As part of our Abundance Task Force’s efforts to share the story of why members give to the ministries of Muhlenberg, Congregation Council President Karen Thomsen sat down for some conversations with members about giving. These wonderful, brief chats address the question “Why I Give” - with members explaining why and how they give their time, talents, and treasure to help live out Muhlenberg’s mission.
