For decades, Presbyterians have joined together through the Special Offerings for opportunities to support the mission and ministry of the PC(USA) while creating transformative change in the world.
Now we are excited to announce that the Special Offerings are getting a refresh for 2026 in line with changes approved by the 226th General Assembly (2024), transforming into three cause-based opportunities to create global impact through the PC(USA).
Aligned with causes that encapsulate the many ways the Church is at work in the world, the Special Offerings will continue to support initiatives that work to end inequality, feed the hungry, protect the vulnerable, and safeguard our shared future.
They will be: - One Great Hour of Sharing — Supporting ministries of compassion through causes addressing hunger, disaster, poverty, climate change, and immigration/migration and refugees.
- World Communion Offering — Calling all God's people to cultivate forms of reconciliation through racial justice, gender justice, peacemaking, global witness and ecumenical and interfaith relations.
- Christmas Joy Offering — Supporting causes and ministries that serve God's children, including youth and young adults, children at risk, leadership development for people of color, Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color and servants of the church in need.
