WHY WE GIVE
The bible teaches us a standard for giving. When we give to the church, we put God first in our lives. Generosity is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others.
We also know that our giving changes lives - ours and the people we're reaching. When you give to First, you're doing more than just keeping the lights on. You are creating environments for your friends and family to meet Jesus, as well as meeting needs throughout our community.
Through your generosity God provides for the ministry of First United Methodist Church. We honor your gifts with faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability so that the financial integrity of First UMC remains above reproach.
