SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH

We give simply because God gave first – His first and best – Jesus.  As a result of His gift, our lives have been completely changed forever. Thanks for your interest in supporting the purpose of FCC Napa!

The impact of FCC can be found in the generosity and commitment of its people. Proverbs 21:26 says "the godly love to give" (TLB). This is seen through the countless volunteer hours offered by those serving in church ministries and through those who financially support the church and its initiatives.

Your financial support and generosity allow us to create the quality opportunities that you and your family enjoy on a weekly basis.

Thank you for automating your giving and having a plan to support your local church. Your consistent, planned generosity makes it possible for us to budget and dream responsibly.

Year End Offering

As a church family, we are sowing seeds of generosity by donating FCC’s Year End offering to local mission partner, The Bridge - Napa, and global mission partner, The Sandy Family: Missionaries to Thailand.

GIVING FAQS

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GIVING?

Faithful giving draws me closer to God.

“Whatever your treasure is, there your heart  and thoughts will be also.” Matthew 6:21

Faithful giving is the key to a full life.

“Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give generously... By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may take hold of real life.” 1 Timothy 8:18-19

Faithful giving blesses me in return.

“‘Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,’  says the Lord Almighty, ‘I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you!’” Malachi 3:10

Faithful giving brings me joy.

“There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.” Acts 20:35

Faithful giving reminds me that everything belongs to God.

“But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” Deuteronomy 8:18

WHY SHOULD I GIVE?

• Giving helps me grow in my faith

• Giving supports the ministries of First Christian Church

• Giving allows me to be a part of God’s impact here in the Napa Valley and around the world

One of the greatest measures of spiritual maturity is how we handle the resources that God has given us. Stewardship, honoring God with our finances, is a form of discipleship that will help you to become a fully developed follower of Jesus.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE?

The Bible says that every believer should give a minimum of 10% of their income, or a tithe, to the local church. Anything over 10% is called an offering and is a way to honor God through giving sacrificially.

IS MY GIFT TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?

All contributions are tax-deductible. For a cash gift, a giving envelope must be completed in order for your gifts to be tax-deductible. No goods or services (other than general intangible religious benefits) have been given by the church in exchange for the receipt of the donation. Giving statements are distributed at the end of each year to help you keep track of your giving.

What are the fees for online giving?

The online giving service we use has some of the lowest fees among online giving platforms. Additionally, if you would like to cover the processing fee, you are given that option before you complete your donation transaction. Each credit card transaction has a fee of 2.15% + $0.30. ACH transactions have a $0.30 fee.
