Stewardship

Stewardship is about more than an annual campaign or a season of fundraising. Stewardship is about our whole lives of discipleship. It’s about how we recognize God’s activity in creation, including our own existence, and join our lives with what God is doing in the world.

God calls us to be stewards of divine gifts and and grace by sharing a portion of what we have received to help grow God’s kindom. We do this by sharing our talents and expertise in church worship, ministries, and community outreach. We do this by praying for the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit in our church’s life. And we do this by combining our financial support with that of others’ to ensure ministries that reflect and share the good news of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ flourish through our efforts.

Per Capita

Each year, our congregation participates in the PC(USA) per capita offering that supports congregations as they further the mission of Jesus Christ around the world. The per capita dollars help fund such things as pastoral searches and provide pastoral training and support within the PC(USA).

This year, we at FVPC will be benefiting considerably from the support the per capita fund provides, as we transition through Pastor Stephanie’s acceptance of another call, the increased responsibilities for Pastor Michelle, and the need for support during Pastor Michelle’s sabbatical. That support will continue as we begin the process of setting up a Pastoral Nominating Committee to search for a new Head of Staff.

Per capita letters were mailed to all members in May. We appreciate the quick response so many of you have already made with your per capita contributions.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to make your per capita contribution – please consider participating. This year’s per capita amount is $44.00 per member. Confirmed youth and college-age members are included in the per capita assessment. If writing a check, please add “per capita” in the memo line. Contributions may also be made on this giving page by selecting “per capita” from the drop-down menu. We hope to receive your per capita gift by June 30.
