During Stewardship you will receive a Pledge Card which gives you to opportunity to let us know how much you pledge to give to the church in the coming year. Filling out this card is incredibly helpful for us as we plan our annual operating budget!
Of course we understand that things may change throughout the year so you may adjust your pledge at anytime by emailing our Finance Administrator, Peni Kehoe at peni@fpccov.org

Payments for non-deductible goods and services are processed through our system the same way as our offerings, but will not show on your giving statement.
Please ensure you either clearly write the name of fund on your envelope or memo line, or select the correct fund from the drop-down menu online.
Examples of non-deductible payments include: Soul Feast, t-shirts, retreat fees, book purchases, conference fees, and art parties.
Contact our Finance Administrator if you have any questions.
Payment methods

Cash may be placed in the offering plate or mailed to the office.
If you would like your cash offering to be included in your giving statement and/or be included as your annual pledge please ensure your name is clearly written on the envelope.
If you would like to offer cash towards a specific fund, please include the name of the fund on the envelope as well.

Checks may be placed in the offering plate or mailed to the office.

To give with your credit or debit card the transaction will need to go through the online giving portal on Realm. One time or recurring gifts can be made by clicking HERE or by texting FPCCOV to 73256
When giving through Realm you will be able to select the fund you would like your gift to be contributed to by selecting the fund on the dropdown menu.
You will also be asked if you would like to contribute $2.00(for credit/debit card transactions) or $1.00 (for ACH transactions)to offset our processing costs. This helps make sure your full gift can be used for our church rather than to cover the fees of each transaction.
