Faith Promise

What is Faith Promise?
A Faith Promise is a personal commitment, made in faith, for global outreach. When we make this commitment, we say, “By faith I commit to give a certain amount of money, and I trust God to enable me to fulfill this commitment.” Faith Promise money is given above and beyond a regular tithe to the church budget.
How do I make a Faith Promise?
  1. Pray and ask the Lord what he would have you give!
  2. Commit yourself by faith to give a specific amount for global mission, trusting God to provide.
  3. Look for God-sightings in your Faith Promise and share your story with others.
  4. Be faithful to give what God has provided.
Where does Faith Promise money go?
Faith Promise money is used to support our global partners and ministry partnerships, allowing us to put resources into sharing the message of Christ in our own community and around the world. It is also utilized for Volunteer In Mission teams and missionary care throughout the year.

Escuela Integrada (Guatemala)

First Methodist has worked with the school of Escuela Integrada in the city of Antigua, Guatemala, for many years. The school and education are based on Christian values that provide excellent opportunities for the students and families to grow in knowledge, life skills, and Christian faith. First Methodist is privileged to stand alongside this ministry in many ways: financially, prayerfully, with child sponsorship, and with ongoing relationships with family and staff. 
GRACES' primary project is a school in Guatemala. Escuela Integrada de Niños Trabajadores, which means “Integrated School for the Working Children,” was started in 2003 to provide accessible education for children subjected to labor because of dire circumstances. The school serves more than 200 students in the surrounding villages of Antigua, Guatemala.
Our Mission
To provide holistic educational opportunities through physical, emotional and spiritual support for children living in extreme poverty in Guatemala.
Our Vision
To improve the lives of our students by overcoming generational poverty, child labor and violence and empowering them to live a life of hope, purpose, and opportunity, sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
