Online giving—one-time or recurring via credit/debit card or direct withdrawal from your bank account—is made easy through our website. Once set up, it’s quick to make a one-time gift or set up recurring gifts to support the general ministry or specific needs of the church. See the button above on this page, or contact the church office for more information.
Automatic monthly withdrawal set up through the church office – is a convenient and faith-filled way to support ministry at First Pres. You designate the amount, and your gift is made hassle free straight from your checking account on the 18th of the month. Best of all, when automatic withdrawal is set up through the church office, there are no bank transfer fees, which makes it more cost effective than other online options.
Traditional offering envelopes are available for cash and check contributions only upon request.
TAX-ADVANTAGED GIVING
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD): If you are 70 1/2 or older, you may be interested in IRA QCD as a way to support ministry while saving on taxes. Find out more by contacting the church office or talk with your financial planner.

We have a new church record keeping solution at FPCE…
FPCE has made the move to a new kind of church record keeping solution called Realm®. It offers some exciting opportunities to support the way you are involved in our church while helping our administrative staff work more efficiently. It will make it easier for our church family to connect with each other, keep up with what’s going on, and grow as a connected community of believers.
Everyone in our church gets a unique profile. Your profile contains everything you want people in our church to know about you. Your profile also enables you to join a small group, RSVP to events, track your giving, update your contact information, change family details, set notification preferences, or replace that outdated family photo.
By keeping your information current, you are helping our staff, group leaders, and our church community. Your Profile includes:
• Contact Information (e.g. name, address, email, phone)
• Photo
• Family Members
• Personal Information* (e.g. marital status, birthday**, etc.)
• Connected Social Media accounts *You can decide later what data you want to hide online by sending your privacy preferences. **Feel free to enter your full birthday. The year and your age will not be displayed on your church directory profile.
Review your giving history or make new donations online or on your mobile phone. Simply sign in to look over your year-to-date giving, check pledge progress, print a contribution statement, or make a new one-time or recurring donation. It’s always available and kept secure in an easy-to-use online environment.
