Giving

Have you ever thought about what it takes to build a vibrant church? First and foremost, it isn't anything that we do, but a work of God's Spirit. God bestows His gifts, His blessings, and His presence?which enables a church to experience life and vitality. But that doesn't let us off the hook entirely. . .

Healthy, strong, and effective churches have several things in common. One, the people are prayerful and responsive to the leading of God's Spirit. They are "tuned in" to God, and willing to get caught up in the work God is doing. Two, the people are willing to do what it takes to make a difference in their community . . . and the world. Three, community-life takes on new dimensions?as people learn to love more deeply, serve together in teams, and share all aspects of life together.

We are asking our members to give so much more than their money. Bottom line: we are asking the members of First Presbyterian Church to invest themselves fully in what God is doing here. Yes, that means giving financial gifts to God's work through this church. But it also means giving other parts of ourselves to God as an act of spiritual worship . . . things that are precious to us . . . like our time, our passions, and our unique giftedness.

Like so much in life, what we get out of something has a direct correlation to what we put into it. We are challenging you to devote yourself completely to God. We are asking you to "buy into" what God is doing through First Presbyterian Church of Apopka.

There are many ways that you can contribute your financial resources to FPCA. Here are some of the most common ways people give:

Pledge Card: Your pledge enables you to have a conversation with God about what He would have you to give to the church's ongoing ministry. By sharing your pledge with us, you help the church's leadership effectively plan the annual budget.

Tithes: As you strive to be a faithful and obedient steward of all that God has entrusted to you, consider following the Biblical mandate of giving 10 percent of your income to God's work. You can give your tithe as a part of your Sunday morning worship, or through the mail.

Offerings: Sometimes you are overwhelmed with gratitude toward God and desire to express that through giving. Sometimes you are moved to meet a need that has been brought to your attention. You may designate a special offering to any ministry at FPCA.

Memorial Gifts: Often, people wish to make a gift to the church in lieu of flowers, or to honor the memory of a loved one. You may wish to establish a endowment that will perpetuate your family's legacy, as well as the ministry of First Presbyterian Church. Endowments can be established for college or seminary scholarships, building maintenance, on-campus missions, and special mission projects.

Again, thank you for worshiping with us.
