A note from the Business Office 

Proverbs 18:16

  A gift opens doors; it gives access to the great.

   When we open a door, the possibilities are endless. In this verse it says by giving a gift we can open a door to something great. Your gifts to our church opens doors for our children at Sunday School or VBS. It opens doors for youth to meet, study together and go on a mission trip. Our gifts open doors for those in need at our First Community Kitchen and our Local Relief Fund. Our gifts open doors to allow us to share God with others through our creative ministries of Magic & Puppets. And our gifts open doors so we can have meaningful worship on Sunday mornings and during the week at Crossroads. The list could go on and on.  Help us to continue opening doors through your gifts!

The following are ways that you can give your monetary gifts to our church:

  • On-line giving on our website, www.love-first.org
