This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

Together in Giving & Serving
Faithful Together Commitments
For 100 years, Dawson members have generously supported God’s work through our church. This spirit of generosity continues to be evident in the commitments already made to the Faithful Together Campaign, which includes five-year commitments to help fund the Sanctuary renovation. If you have not yet made your commitment to Faithful Together, you still have the opportunity to do so. Every commitment is essential as we finalize plans for construction financing. You can submit your commitment using one of the cards available in the pew racks or by committing online at dawsonchurch.org/faithfultogether. This is a significant project for our church, and we need all Dawson members to give sacrificially in support of this important work. Thank you for being found Faithful Together!
