Ways To Give

Online Giving

We have transitioned from E-giving to a new giving platform called Subsplash. Click here to cancel your E-giving account. Scroll down to watch video below about how to register for Subsplash. Contact Karen Gates at kgates@fcumc.org with any questions.

Kiosk

There are giving kiosks located outside of the Vine and the Sanctuary. It's an easy process to give electronically while you're in the church building. 

Wills

Giving to First-Centenary's Permanent Endowment through your will is the easiest way to contribute to enable ministry and the future vitality of the church.

Permanent Endowment

The First-Centenary Permanent Endowment Fund has been established to provide members and friends an opportunity to make charitable gifts to the church that will become a permanent endowment of financial support. The Endowment Fund is intended for purposes that are beyond the church's budget and the regular giving of its members. Only earnings on the Permanent Endowment Fund are used for the designated purposes.

Giving such a gift is an act of love and an effective way to continue your support of First-Centenary. Since the fund is permanent, your gift will keep on giving, even after you are no longer here. This is a way of ensuring that First-Centenary will continue to function effectively and allows you to be a part of the church now and in the future.

Annual Stewardship Campaign

We believe that following Jesus means we honor God with our finances in the way we give back to God and the way we spend our money. Each year, we give everyone an opportunity to make a financial commitment to the church as a means of helping each person be faithful to God in giving. We then base our next year's budget on the commitments that we have. In November, we have a Stewardship campaign and ask each person and family to prayerfully consider how they can be faithful to God and to their church family.
