How to Give
However, recurring donations do require a PayPal account.
Please use this video to learn how to setup a PayPal account if you intend to create a recurring donation.
Regular Gift
You may contribute to the work of the local church – holding regular worship services, providing activities for the church family, maintaining the property and supporting programs through the global United Methodist Church.
Altar Flowers
If you would like to sponsor the altar flower arrangement for a special Sunday, the cost is $35. Please reserve a date on the calendar in the Parlor and tell us in whose honor or memory the arrangement is given. The flowers are yours to take home after the worship service.
Memorial Gift
Memorial gifts may be made in memory of anyone who has been important in your life. They may be designated for special projects, if you desire. Please let us know in whose memory the gift is given.
Laura Longman Scholarship
The Laura Longman Memorial Scholarship is awarded every year on Easter to one or more deserving college juniors and seniors. Laura grew up in our congregation and died of heart failure while a student at San Francisco State University.
