"PER MEMBER ASKING "Our presbytery is currently funded by "per member asking," an amount per active member that each church is asked to contribute. This year (2024), Round Hill is contributing $15.00 per member to the Presbytery of the Alleghenies. Our contribution to the denomination is based on 1% of last year's income to the church which is about $16 per member. That is a total of $31 per member. This information is provided for those members who would like to contribute the per member amount in addition to their regular giving by marking "PMA" or "per capita" on a gift placed in the offering.

ONLINE GIVING NOW AVAILABLE- If you would like to donate online, go to  the "Donations" page and follow the instructions; you can use credit/debit cards or Paypal.
