GO GREEN!
What a victory! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have exceeded our capital campaign goal for the office building renovation. If you have returned the yellow response card in your giving packet—thank you! Team Yellow has crossed the finish line, and we are deeply grateful for your support and commitment to this important project.
Now, Team Green needs a little extra momentum. The green response card in your packet (also available on the DCC website) invites you to share your estimated unrestricted giving for 2026. These gifts, which aren’t designated for specific projects, are essential for planning and sustaining the full scope of our church’s work (for more on that, please see below).
To keep our missions and ministries thriving, we’re asking the congregation to consider a 10% increase in giving to the 2026 operating budget compared to 2025. Every contribution—of time, talent, and treasure—makes a meaningful difference.
The bottom line is… the bottom line! Everything we do is made possible by your generosity. We are truly blessed to be a blessing, and we thank you for continuing to empower the vibrant ministry and mission of our church. With your support, we look forward to serving together for many years to come.
WHAT DOES YOUR MONEY DO AT DCC, ANYWAY?
...especially considering that the church is only open one day a week, right? Some of you might chuckle at that idea–but it’s a common misconception. In reality, DCC is a vibrant, active hub of community life every day of the week. We’re proud to host dozens of mission partners on campus who do incredible work that aligns with our values–work we couldn’t accomplish alone. Just a few of these partners include:
Davis Phoenix Coalition – Promoting safety, respect, and freedom from violence for LGBTQIA+ youth.
Purple Tree Café – Creating community-based employment for people with disabilities and fostering connection through food, art, and music.
Empower Yolo – Providing safe shelter, legal assistance, therapy, and other vital services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
AA, the Red Cross, a grief support group, two Scout troops, two Rotary clubs, and many more!
DCC’s support, whether it’s space, technical assistance, event setup and breakdown, coordination, publicity, or simply providing lights, heat, and air conditioning, helps make their work possible. Alongside our mission partners, our campus is home to a wide range of DCC ministries. Our dedicated staff coordinates and supports their activities while also:
Caring for our hundreds of congregants and the wider community
Maintaining our buildings and grounds for all the events we host
Supporting children’s and youth ministries
Planning and executing music for worship and special events
Creating meaningful Sunday services and celebrations throughout the year
And that’s just the beginning–we could go on, but we don’t want to wear you out! All of this takes coordination, creativity, hard work, expertise, and resources. Your gifts of time, talent, and treasure empower everything we do at DCC. We are deeply grateful for your ongoing support.
