Ways to Give

There are many ways to give and commit ourselves to God’s mission and the church of Jesus Christ. In addition to contributions of time, talents, hopes, and prayers, financial offerings allow the church to make a positive impact in our community, our nation, and our world. Here are a few ways to support the financial health of the church:
