Mission Giving (Faith Promise)

Stories of Faith that Are Changing the World

Faith Promise

What is Faith Promise?
Faith Promise giving is money that is given above and beyond a tithe, specifically for outreach. When we make a Faith Promise, we ask God to provide the funds, then we spend the next year praying, watching, and waiting for God to provide. Sometimes the provision comes in large and unexpected ways, like an unexpected check in the mail. Other times it comes through small conscious decisions to adjust our lifestyle at the urging of God, which help us fulfill our commitment.
How do I make a Faith Promise?
  1. Pray. Step one is always to pray! Ask God how much he is calling you to give for Global Outreach over the next year. 
  2. Commit. It may come as a loud and clear answer, or it may come as a small whisper. When you hear an answer from God. Commit. To make your actual Faith Promise, you can use the form on this page or fill out a paper version at the GO Hub at First Methodist.
  3. Watch. Sometimes God provides the funds in a big way. Sometimes it comes in small nudges. 
  4. Give. When God does provide, give! Then tell the story. Sharing your story with others is how the impact of your giving spreads beyond just the dollar amount.
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.
