Giving
Your gift supports the ministries of FPC Stillwater and allows us to serve as Christ's hands and feet in the world. Your generosity is not our way of funding the budget; it is God’s way of raising disciples.
Estimate of Giving
As we proceed through our stewardship season to prepare for 2027, we are reminded of a simple sustaining truth:
we are in God's Hands!! The psalmist writes, “My times
are in Your Hand” (Psalm 31:15). In calm and in storm, God holds us with grace, guides us with wisdom, and invites us to trust.
Please respond by returning your Commitment Card to the church office or using the link on this website to make your 2027 commitment.
Your generosity and commitment are appreciated.
Time & Talent Discovery Tools
Instead of our Time & Talent pledge forms, we are moving to a new way to connect members and friends with opportunities to connect and serve through the Discovery Tool. The Discovery Tool matches your particular gifts with the needs of our community, the world, and one another.
Legacy Giving
A legacy gift is an opportunity for those of us who care deeply about this ministry and what happens here beyond our lifetime. It takes the form of a gift through our will or estate plan. For most of us, this may be the greatest gift we make: our gift of a lifetime.
