GIVING
Answering God's Call
The sharing of our time, our talents, our gifts, and our service is important to our growth as Christian disciples. While the financial commitment is but a portion of our responsibility to be good stewards of all God’s blessings, it is critical that we make God’s call to be financially generous to others an integral part of our faith journey. Giving through First Church is the most effective way to help with ministry and missions.

Your giving changes lives.
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 CEB
