How can I help? First and foremost, PRAY! Ask how God will have you use your gifts and talents to glorify God. We ask that you pray for the ministry of the United Presbyterian Church of Binghamton; for clarity and strength in doing God’s work. We ask that you prayerfully consider how God will use you in this ministry; whether it is volunteering to prepare food or clean up at our Tuesday Community Meal, participating in outreach events in our community, devoting your time and energy to the work of one of our ministry teams, or through your financial contributions.
Below is a link to our e-giving site, where you can make a tax-deductible contribution to UPC. You will be asked to create an account and from there will be able to give via check or credit card.

They gave gifts to fund the current needs and for the long-term benefit of those who would follow them in ministry.
