Ways to Give

Ways To Give To Your Church

There are, of course, many ways to give thru your prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. We will focus here on ways to give financially.

Special Note: The church promotes responsible use of debt. Credit card payments are offered for convenience only and it is the position of the church that you should not incur debt in order to make your gift.

Deuteronomy 8:18 “Remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.”

Your Pledge Giving and Tithing

You made a promise to the church to uphold it with your prayers, presence, service, gifts and witness. How is the "gifts" part of that going for you? It's difficult to keep up with your pledge giving, isn't it? If you miss a Sunday here and there it can really affect your giving or tithe and consequently will have an impact on the church's ability to meet its obligations.

Well, to make the financial portion of "gifts" in this promise easier, we have created a way for you to set up monthly gifts and tithes to the church that will automatically be charged to your credit card. Just click here, follow the instructions and you are all set!

A Single Gift or Tithe

Did God give you some unexpected income and you want to tithe 10% of it to the church? Want to show your appreciation for all the church does over and beyond your pledge giving? Need those last few miles on your credit card to qualify for that airline ticket? Is your heart and God telling you it is time to give a little extra?

Chruch Needs

There is now a place on the church website that we will update constantly with specific church needs. Feel free to visit this place as often as you wish. When you feel compelled, enter your one-time gift to the church. You can spread your gift among different needs or give to just one particular need that touches your heart. Just click here and fill in amount(s) where you feel moved to do so. Are you so very close to a 10% tithe? This is a great place to gift this amount and bring your giving to a full tithe. Did you miss church a Sunday or two and need to catch up? You can do that right here as well.

Memorials and Tributes

Do you want to make a memorial or a tribute gift in honor of a loved one or someone special? What a wonderful way to show your love for someone and bless the church with their memory. What a blessed way to acknowledge someone's accomplishments or simply show them their importance in your life. The church has many ways to acknowledge someone from very private to very public.

Please email David Roberson at droberson@firstmethodistplano.org and let him know the person's name and how you would like to honor them. If you would rather set up a dedicated account for your gift, you can email droberson@firstmethodistplano.org and let him know how you would like to allocate your donation.

You are in complete control of how this very special donation will be used to spread God's word. Your church would be blessed and honored to make this happen.
