At Community UMC Huntington Beach, we are called to be God’s hands, feet, and voice in our community and beyond. Your generous giving through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness helps us fulfill this mission.

Join us in making a lasting impact. Thank you for your commitment to God’s work!

Ways You Can Give

You can contribute in several meaningful ways:

  • Prayers: Lift up our church, community, and ministries in prayer.
  • Presence: Join us for worship services and community events in-person or online.
  • Service: Volunteer in ministries that align with your gifts and passions.
  • Witness: Share God’s love through your daily interactions.
  • Gifts: Support our church through direct donations, gifts to missions, legacy giving, even everyday shopping.

Support the Annual Operating Budget

Your financial gifts help sustain our ministries, staff, and church campus. Whether you pledge a regular gift or give as you are able, every contribution makes a difference. Donations can be made:

  • By check or cash (in the offering plate, in the church office, or by mail)
  • Online

Support Local and Global Missions

Contribute tangible goods to support local and global missions, including donations to our Shower Ministry, Food Closet, and supplies for missionaries serving worldwide. Volunteer your time on Adult Work trips or participate with our youth at Sierra Service Project. Your generosity provides essential resources to those in need.

Legacy Giving Through the CUMC Foundation

Consider including Community UMC in your estate planning. Through legacy gifts, you can extend your impact for generations to come. Options include:

  • Bequests in wills or trusts
  • Naming CUMC as a beneficiary (insurance policies, IRAs, retirement funds)
  • Appreciated securities & real property donations
  • Charitable annuities & trusts

Your gift remains invested, with earnings used to fund grants (for church and community ministries and church improvements) and scholarships (supporting students since 1998).

The Tree of Life

The Tree of Life in the church narthex is a way you can remember, honor, celebrate or otherwise pay tribute to important people or events in your life by purchasing an inscribed leaf for the tree.

The entire amount of your leaf purchase goes to the Foundation but is never spent. Instead it is added to other gifts and invested. The earnings on those invested gifts are used to provide Grants to continue the work God has called us to do. Download the Gift Information Form to participate.

Give While You Shop

Support CUCM effortlessly through the SCRIP Program. Buy gift cards for everyday purchases in the courtyard on Sundays and in the office during the week, and a portion goes to the church. Since its inception, the SCRIP program has earned over $100,000 for CUMC.
