Here is John Wesley’s, the founder of the Methodist movement, which is the foundation of our teaching, own brief summary: “Gain all you can…. save all you can… give all you can.” As he develops each of these points in his sermon, his message is plain. We are to seek to earn all we can in ways that are helpful to ourselves and others, never harmful. We are to “save all we can” by being frugal in our expenses. And then having earned all we can and spent only what we must to care for our own basic needs and those of our family (which we are never to neglect!), we are to give everything else away.  read more…

For many years we have trusted Vanco Financial Services (GivePlus) to take care of our electronic funds giving. In May of 2020 we expanded our options to include mobile app giving and online giving. Both resources offer a one time payment or an option to set up repeated giving on a schedule of your choosing.  For those who are not so tech-savvy, we also offer EFT Electronic Funds Transfer service and offering envelopes you can fill on a weekly or monthly basis.
