Give
Giving to the church is an act of faith that allows us to expand the Kingdom of God and share His love with the world. Your generosity helps us serve our community, meet needs, and bring hope to those around us. Every gift strengthens the mission of the church - to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and be the hands and feet of Christ. Through your generosity, we are building a lasting impact for God’s glory.
Other Ways to Give
BY MAIL
First Presbyterian Church Attn: Business Office 820 Colonial Avenue Norfolk, VA 23507
TEXT TO GIVE
It’s easy to give right from your phone. Text 530-LOVE and write the word GIVE followed by the dollar amount you would like to contribute (example: to give $50, text GIVE 50). If it’s your first time, you will be prompted with instructions to set up your account.
AUTOMATIC WITHDRAW
First Giving via Automatic Bank Draft is an easy and effective way to automate your giving. Once it is set up, you may update or change your giving at any time by simply contacting the Business Office. 100% of your gift goes to the ministries of FPC because there are no processing fees.
STOCKS + BONDS
We gratefully accept gifts of stocks or bonds. Donations of this type are sold immediately when received, regardless of what the market may be doing at that time.
Contact Linda Davenport at 757-625-1697, or linda@fpcnorfolk.org when you plan to initiate a stock transfer so that we can provide you with the account and transfer numbers. We will also take your information at that time to ensure you receive the giving credit on your contribution statement.
Legacy Giving
Sharing our blessings is core to the Christian faith. Planned giving, in particular, allows future generations to continue sharing the Good News of Jesus. A legacy gift is one great way of accomplishing this. Planned giving means making a deferred gift to FPC and informing us that you have remembered the church in your estate plans. Planned gifts are established now but not realized by FPC until the giver’s death. Joining our endowment initiative is expressing an intention and is not a legally binding commitment. We understand that plans evolve over time as circumstances change. Prayerfully planned gifts can help you meet personal financial goals while making a meaningful contribution to Jesus’ Kingdom work. You do not need an estate attorney or financial planner to join our initiative, though you will likely need one to create an estate plan. Making a gift you never thought possible can happen in a variety of ways.
