Generosity at NRUMC

At North Raleigh United Methodist Church, we believe generosity is more than something we do — it’s part of who we’re called to be. Each year, we enter a season of generosity where we dedicate every part of our lives — including our finances — to God’s holy use.

 

This year, our goal is simple but powerful: 300 commitments.


Each commitment card represents a household choosing to say, “Take my life, Lord, and let it be.” Together, those 300 commitments will tell a story of faith, trust, and shared purpose as we support all that God is doing through NRUMC.

 

You are invited to be part of that story.


Pray about how God is calling you to take a step of faith in the coming year. Then fill out your commitment card — online or in worship — as a way of consecrating your gifts to God’s work through our church family.
 

Be part of the 300.

Commitment Cards

As we seek to answer God’s call on our lives, how each of us answers will be different. Ultimately, Generosity is about being a blessing to others in Raleigh and around the world. How will you commit this year?

Faith Formation for All Ages

 

  • Nursery & Toddler Care: Spaces were refreshed with fresh paint, waxed floors, and new mats & toys, creating a welcoming, safe, and fun environment, and we added a Sunday school lesson time for toddlers.
  • Increased Childcare Staff: Four new staff joined our team, allowing us to offer childcare for special services and events beyond Sunday mornings.
  • Elementary Ministries: 12 Bibles were given to third graders, and 9 Bibles to two-year-olds. The Bridge, our 4th- and 5th-grade program, introduced a curriculum focused on learning about the Bible and how to use it.
  • Mission Leadership Cohort took their second mission trip allowing young adults to connect to each other and engage in formative service opportunities.

    Over 200 people gathered for the Easter Sunrise Service at Lafayette Village, with two first-time attendees joining NRUMC in the months to follow.

    Being Generous with our Building: Our campus now hosts 5 scout troops (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts) and 10 recovery/support groups, reflecting our commitment to the North Raleigh community. We added the Raleigh Newcomers Group to our list of external groups that use our building, welcoming 80+ attendees monthly, several of whom have joined us for worship.

Youth and Discipleship
