Cultivating a Heart of Giving

Welcome to First Presbyterian Church, a community dedicated to faith, fellowship and service. Our church thrives on the generosity and commitment of our members and friends, who support our missions through various forms of giving. Tithing, memorials or foundation gifts hold special significance as they enable us to sustain our ministries, expand our outreach and honor cherished memories.

Tithing is an act of faith, reflecting our gratitude for God’s blessings and our commitment to the church’s mission. By dedicating a portion of our resources, we not only support the practical needs of our congregation but also strengthen our shared spiritual journey.

Memorial and foundation gifts offer another meaningful way to contribute. These gifts honor loved ones, celebrate milestones, and ensure that the legacy of generosity continues to shape our future. Whether it’s through funding specific projects, enhancing our facilities, or supporting new initiatives, these contributions leave an enduring impact on our community.

Memorial Gifts

We have an opportunity to memorialize and honor those members of our congregation who have died through our Memorial Gifts Program.  These gifts are used by the church in the manner the family designates.  Memorial Gifts may be added to the Foundation or be given to other ministry areas as desired.

Foundation Gifts

Our Foundation was formed as a way to leave a lasting legacy and enduring support for vital ministry in our beloved church. For many of us, this will be the most significant financial gift we will make–our gift of a lifetime.
