Financial Support

Who or what do you love? If you say family, friends, church or country, I feel the same way. But our actions speak so much louder than our words! Where do we spend two of our most valuable resources: our time and our money? If each of us opened our checkbooks and calendars (or Quicken reports and Palm Pilots) to reveal where our time and money is spent, what do they show? Are our choices and priorities consistent with our personal spoken beliefs or do we need to consider changes?

"Matters of one's money tend to set the bodily juices flowing quicker than anything. A threat to that money will send those juices into a flood," says Bob Slosser, author of Miracle in Darien. Martin Luther echoes this sentiment as he once said, "there are three areas of conversion for each Christian: the head, the heart, and the wallet, and the wallet is always the last to go!" We don't dwell on money here at First Congregational Church but we do aim for all partners to "grow into tithing!" That means, each year we ask our partners to commit to a certain percentage and grow accordingly until they reach the Biblical mandate of tithing or giving ten percent to making up there (God's kingdom, God's will) a reality down here (your will be done on earth!)

Exciting and new things are happening at First Congregational Church! Lives are changing each day. New programs are being started and others being evaluated. Our growth both in terms of dollars and people reached has grown in the last three years on a consistent basis! We encourage and thank you for your willingness to share two precious resources, your time and money in order to advance to the kingdom of God.
