EXTRAVAGANT
GENEROSITY
We believe that lives are changed through our giving.
Why Give?
We give not out of obligation or coercion, but out of joy. In light of the grace we’ve received, we give in order to partner with God in the work of love and justice in our community and throughout the world.
Buildings & Spaces
Yes, we worship here, but ministry is happening in our buildings and spaces all the time. Through the ministry of First Pres, women are offered free legal services, individuals receive counseling, families are supported, people are fed, kids are educated, and so much more.
Local & Global Missions
Mission in our neighborhood, nation, and world has always been an essential part of First Pres. We partner with local organizations seeking to end homelessness and hunger in our communities, coordinate disaster-relief trips, and support mission workers all over the world.
Community & Relationships
When preaching & teaching happens at First Pres, we’re equipping for relationship and community. We believe that our faith informs all our lives. When we grow in faith, our relationships grow stronger, our community gets better, and we live our lives in the light of Jesus.
What happens to the
money we give?
Financial Leadership
Our finances are overseen by our Session and Trustees, with a goal of building a culture of generosity within the church. Stewardship, budgeting, and financial reporting are responsibilities of these groups, with results shared via the weekly bulletin, bi-monthly newsletter, and this website.
