Church Center Giving
Each year, as a church, we give a gift to a strategic mission initiative.
-
In 2021–22, we built churches in Senegal (CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE).
-
In 2023, we gave to build a seminary in Mexico (CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE).
-
In 2024, we want to expand our Gospel reach within our community by building an outdoor park to complement our current Kidz Town.
All year-end gifts must be dropped off to the church or postmarked by December 31 to be counted for the 2024 tax year.
Why Do We Give?
We teach and practice the Biblical principle of tithing. Tithe means a tenth. When we tithe, we give 10% of our income to God. God not only calls us to give as an act of obedience, but to give generously. Once you are faithfully tithing, we would like you to consider giving above and beyond.
Each year we set specific goals for outreach and campus expansion so that more and more people can be reached with the Gospel. Kingdom Builders are people who give sacrificially, above and beyond their tithe to help us expand the Kingdom of God. We do this by partnering with local and global organizations.
Ways To Give
Church Center (Online, Mobile, Text)
Church Center is Christ First's secure giving portal. It allows you to give a one-time or recurring tithe. There are three options for giving to Christ First using Church Center.
Text2Give
Text the amount you want to give (e.g., $100) to 84321. The first time you text, you will be directed to complete the setup. Once you are set up, future gifts will go through each time you text an amount.
Note: All Church Center transactions are subject up to a 3% fee for electronic transaction fees. This is not an additional charge to the giver, but a deduction from the amount to the church, i.e. If you give $100 through SecureGive, you are not charged $103; Christ First receives $97.
Offering Sunday Mornings
Look for the offering boxes as you enter or leave the building and simply drop your offering in the slot.
Electronic Funds Transfer
You can set up a recurring weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly automatic transfer of funds. Please contact esassaman@cfdowningtown.com to set up a transfer.
Bill Pay
Add Christ First Church as a new vendor with your personal bank and set up your giving through your bank. You can choose recurring or one-time options with this option.
