GIVING
RESPONDING TO GOD’S GRACE THROUGH OUR FINANCES
RESPONDING TO GOD’S GRACE THROUGH OUR FINANCES
Giving is a way of putting God first in one of the most significant areas of your life: your finances!
Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in God and his provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency.
When you give, you are investing in God’s purposes for his church. Our church leaders pray diligently about the priorities and opportunities for our ministry. Your giving is a means of investing in God’s future.
``Giving is a spiritual issue. By giving to the cause of Christ, we are reminded that God is the source of all we have. Through sharing of our financial resources we remind ourselves that we are called to be a ``funnel`` through which God's blessings flow. And through giving, we enable the church to fulfill its' mission: to make disciples of Jesus Christ.``
During the weekend services we have a time of dedicating our tithes and offerings to God in prayer. You can give by cash and check in the offering plate. Gifts can be designated for a specific fund by making a comment on the envelope or check memo line.
You can give online (either one time or automatically) using your credit or debit card or your PayPal balance. We encourage all givers to be aware of the dangers of abusing credit. No one should go into debt in order to contribute to the church. If you are a regular contributor, please consider EFT in lieu of a credit card for your regular giving.
Secure contribution transactions to First Methodist Church Rainbow City are processed through PayPal. PayPal is a trusted leader in online payments services. PayPal allows you to make contributions from your Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express, or from your bank account with just a few easy steps.
If you shop on Amazon.com, you can have Amazon donate 0.5% to our church by using AmazonSmile. AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice.
To choose the church as the recipient of the donation, go to smile.amazon.com and choose “First Methodist Church Rainbow City” as the organization(they left off Methodist). Then each time you start to shop, start at smile.amazon.com.
You can mail your tithes and offerings to the church or have your bank mail a payment using your bank’s online bill pay service. (Banking fees may apply. Please check with your bank.) Please do not mail cash contributions.
