GIVING

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. –2 Corinthians 9:7

Tithing and giving of finances to a church is a most personal decision and one that should be taken seriously. And there are many reasons that people give to their place of worship. As stewards of your money, we strive to use it wisely, to further God’s kingdom here on earth through constant consideration of where each dollar should go. Obviously mission and outreach are close to our hearts, but making sure we have a place of worship that remains in good condition must also be a priority. 

Other ways to give

We appreciate however and whatever you decide to give to NRUMC. Please know that we will do our best to use it in a responsible manner pleasing to God. Below are a few ways that you can give:

  • Place a check in the offering plate on Sunday. Personal offering envelopes are available and blank envelopes are in the pew racks.
  • Use your credit or debit card. Give Online one-time use or recurring-use (Visa and MasterCard only).
  • Text-to-Give—Using your messaging app on your mobile device, text NRUMC8501 to the mobile number 73256. Click the link in the text reply and fill out the credit card form. On subsequent texts, you will be prompted for the whole dollar amount gift (no decimal) and the fund to which you want to give. It will automatically be applied to the card used in your first giving text, so you only need to fill out the form the first time.
