Tithes & Offerings

One of the larger commitments that First Christian Church dedicates tithes and offerings to is our missionaries, here at home and throughout the world.

Because there are no guaranteed income streams associated with the church, we operate from a “faith- based“ hope, or projection, as we create an annual budget. We trust God to provide, as we formulate prudent, practical and historically based financial goals.

 Other than the administration of The Dalles facility and staff, your support of those in the mission field is one of the most vital parts of that projection each year. Those who have answered that call to “Go . . .“ operate on a similar faith- based hope. They trust God to provide for their needs everyday, and financially you fill those needs through giving. As you give, I hope you’ll watch for and expect to receive continued blessings.

That’s the business our God specializes in, and He knows your name.

Because of Jesus -

Jack

Announcement: The elders have waived Trevor's obligation to work in the church through the end of February. We wish him the best in his upcoming ministry.
