END-OF-YEAR GIVING.

The deadline for end-of-year giving to appear on 2025 contribution statements was December 31, 2025. Checks, "bill pay" checks, and other giving had to have been postmarked or received by Dec. 31. NOTE: As stated here in late December, due to a change in the way local and regional post offices operate, mail dropped on Dec. 31 may NOT have received a Dec. 31 postmark. We asked that donations be mailed earlier than Dec. 31 to ensure it could be applied as a 2025 contribution. Other options were to give online or use one of the drop boxes at First Church. For after-hours giving, there is a drop box located just inside First Church's main entrance. Questions about giving? Email Financial Director, Darla Clark.

iN PERSON

Give during Sunday Services by dropping your physical offering of cash or check into one of the drop boxes located in the back of the Main Worship Center and various locations around the facility. First Church giving envelopes are available at drop boxes to safely secure and account for your physical offering.

If you are 70.5 years or older, you may want to consider making a charitable gift through a QCD (qualified charitable distribution). This is a direct transfer paid from an IRA/retirement account to a charitable organization of your choice and counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions for the year as long as certain requirements are met. A donation to First Church may qualify to be excluded from taxable income (unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA). For more specific information, we encourage you to consult your tax or financial advisor.

At First Church We Believe in Generosity

The ministry of First Church is funded by God’s provision through the tithes and offerings of faithful First Church members and guests. Throughout Scripture (Malachi 3:10, Matthew 6:21, 1 Timothy 6:19, etc.) we are taught to return a portion of that which the Lord has blessed us. It is indeed an act of worship when we give our tithe and offerings to the kingdom of God. The Bible teaches that our giving should be both systematic and sacrificial.
•Tithing (10% of one’s income) is the standard of financial giving.
•Offering is a gift over and above our regular tithe.

What if I don't have enough to tithe?

Giving 10% of your income to your church can be a big and often frightening commitment! But if scripture tells us to honor Him with our first fruits and our blessings will be overflowing, we must learn to trust that He is faithful to provide. God wants us to trust Him. Seek His guidance in how much you should give, and he will honor your faithfulness and obedience.

Can I give to a specific ministry?

Every dollar given to First Church is used to support the mission of First Church and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Therefore, gifts cannot be restricted for use by a specific ministry.

When is the annual giving deadline?

Cash contributions must be received or postmarked by December 31 to be included on your giving statement for that year. Online transactions must be initiated by December 31.

Sometimes I see the option, "dollar drive." What is that?

Every second Sunday of the month, First Church hosts a "Dollar Drive" as a way to make an impact in the 918 and beyond. Dollar Drives are a simple way for everyone to give an extra dollar, on top of a regular offering, to further First Church's mission to "Love Jesus. Love like Jesus." More information is shared during services on Dollar Drive Sundays. NOTE: The online giving platform requires a minimum $2 gift.
