Restore Our Church, Expand Our Reach

Over the past 100 years, our Pullen ancestors lovingly built our building, brick by brick. Now it is our turn to pick up the torch as stewards of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church. The 2025 Capital Campaign will raise $1.5 million over three years to retire debt and pay for crucially needed building repairs.

We have gratefully received $1,xxx,xxx so far. Please pledge now if you haven’t. No amount is too small – every dollar helps!!

Do your part to continue our legacy as one of the most unique and progressive Baptist churches anywhere. With your contribution, you will help restore our church and expand our reach as a loving and kind congregation devoted to social justice and antiracism.

You may make a one-time contribution or pay over two or three years. Pledge cards are in the sanctuary pews, or you can pledge online using Realm. Return confidential pledge cards by dropping them into the slot in the hallway across from the library.

Foundations for Faith

Sundays, September 14–December 7

9:30–10:30 am in Room 307

This Sunday Group is primarily a Bible study class led by a rotating team of teachers. Teachers will lead sessions that focus on various themes, Books of the Bible, or other faith-based topics. The format includes lectures and lots of open discussion.

Sessions will be taught by Pam Hunter-Dempsey, Chalice Overy, David Walley, and Jim Jarrard. These four offer a rich mix of life experiences in theological study, teaching, parish leadership, and social justice activism — promising a rewarding, stimulating class experience.

There are no prerequisites for this class; no Bible study experience is necessary. We invite all ages, singles, and couples to join us.

Book Study Led by Amy Marschall

September 14, 21, 28; October 5, 12, 19

9:30–10:30 am in Room 308

Participants will read and discuss Srdja Popovic's book, Blueprint for Revolution: How to Use Rice Pudding, Lego Men, and Other Nonviolent Techniques to Galvanize Communities, Overthrow Dictators, or Simply Change the World (2015). As the title suggests, it's an engaging read.

Popovic was one of the leaders of Serbia's Otpor Movement, which ousted Slobodan Milosevic in 2000. Since then, Srdja has worked for the Center for Applied Nonviolent Actions and Strategies (CANVAS) and has inspiring stories to tell.
