First Church offers several giving opportunities. During Sunday services, worshipers can place donations in the offering plate as it is passed during the offertory portion of the service. On Stewardship Sunday, members and friends prayerfully consider pledging a portion of their finances to the church. Made possible by recent technology, more and more givers are choosing to use alternative giving options. Giving Kiosks located in the narthex provide a convenient “offering plate” at any time, especially for those who prefer to use a debit or credit card. Giving through the church website allows givers to set up one-time or recurring gifts, designate to various ministries, and establish auto-draft options from their bank.
The important thing is for a believer to give to God joyfully—out of gratitude and trust. We want to make it convenient to follow the prompting of the Spirit, so we offer every available tool to assist in that good work.
