Thank you for supporting Burke Presbyterian Church, both with your time and talents and your financial resources. Below you will see green buttons that direct you to specific funds that support various ministries. You can pay your regular offering online (that’s money set aside to help cover the day-to-day operating costs of the church). You can make a donation to our overseas mission work in Kenya. We make it easy for you to contribute to a whole range of things with just the click of a button, and when you do so, you will be taken to our secure online giving system, called “Engage.”

Make a Financial Pledge/Promise to BPC

Per Capita Assessment
BPC, along with every other church in our presbytery, is required to pay a set amount each year, per member (adults and confirmed youth), for the operating expenses of the National Capital Presbytery, the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic and the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). BPC’s per capita assessment for 2021 is $42.67 per member, and a number of people in the congregation have committed to pay this amount separately from their annual pledge. Would you like to help the church by covering the costs associated with your family’s membership?
Widen the Circle
Our “Widen the Circle” capital campaign began in 2018. Today we are proud to say we have completed a major renovation of our downstairs wing to accommodate children’s ministry and our preschool, a beautiful gathering space for community events, meals, and fellowship, and a lovely courtyard. Thank you for making this exciting new chapter possible, and you can make payments to this project here.
Make a Contribution to Our “People in Need” Fund
Millions of Americans are being adversely affected by Covid-19, and we know that some of those people are very close to home. As jobs are lost or cut back, some members and friends of this very congregation may be needing help with bills and other expenses. If you are one of those people, please reach out to our pastor, the Rev. Dr. David Ensign (david@burkepreschurch.org). And if you are not financially affected by this crisis and are able to help us build up this support net, please consider making a donation to the “P.I.N.” fund today.
Kibwezi Ministries
Since 1987, Burke Presbyterian Church and Kibwezi Bethel Church have built a partnership based upon mutual trust, faith and respect. We provide financial assistance, guidance and prayer for the Burke/Kibwezi Tumaini Orphan Care Program, which assists orphaned children where they are now living and provides “rescue” support if existing living conditions are inadequate or unsafe. We support a vocational school and a microfinance program, designed to assist individuals and families in East Africa, where educational and entrepreneurial opportunities are limited. You may contribute to our Kibwezi ministries at any time by clicking here. And thank you.
Dedicate Worship Flowers
Each Sunday you have the opportunity to honor the memory of your loved ones, celebrate or commemorate an occasion, or express your appreciation by dedicating the flower arrangements that are used in the worship services. Fill out this online form (link below). Then make a donation to the BPC flower guild to cover the expenses of your dedication: It’s easy! A separate donation button is on this page as well.
Flower Dedication Donations
Are you dedicating flowers to our worship space–in honor or memory of someone or something–or just want to contribute to our flower guild? Make your payment here. For Sunday morning dedications we typically ask for a minimum of $40. Thank you for helping to bring beauty to our Meeting House!
IMPACT
Our youth choir depends on donations to participate in its annual mission and music trip. Please be generous.
