As Christians, we understand that everything we have comes from God. We give out of gratitude for our blessings and to support God’s work through the church.

Regular, systematic giving cultivates a lifestyle of generosity. Regular giving connects our generosity to our blessings and can bring great joy. You can set up regular, recurring giving online at:
fumcwaxahachie.org/give

The Bible teaches giving in proportion to the material blessings we have received. We encourage committing a percentage of your income and increasing that percentage over time.

Since 2018, all estate gifts (or final gifts, from a person’s estate) are directed to our church’s endowment unless otherwise directed. The principal of these gifts is never invaded; only the interest earned is used. This means that these departed saints’ faith continues to be seen and benefits the work of Christ, even after they’re gone from our midst. Including the church in your estate plans – even if only giving a 10% tithe from what’s left - is a wonderful way to bear witness to one’s faith, and to let our gratitude to God be a continuing light that shines and blesses others into the future. It can be as easy as visiting with your attorney or financial advisor and including the church in your will, trust, or estate plan.

It means giving the first tenth, or 10%, of our income to God, which originated in the Old Testament. When we give the first 10% of
our income to the church, we put God first in our lives. We encourage setting a goal to reach or exceed this level of generosity.

The church stewardship campaign supports everything FUMC Waxahachie does, including worship, missions, Sunday morning classes, programs and services, and the staff and facilities
needed to accomplish all of this.

Always! But we first have to ensure our budget is fully funded to be able to ensure those ministries can function at an optimal level.

We want our church family to support the budget within their means. If your finances change, please come talk with us so we can help you navigate life alongside your church family.
