Ways to Give

There are several ways you can give to First Presbyterian Church:

You may give online by clicking the “GIVE ONLINE” button at the introduction of this page. We accept debit cards, VISA, and MasterCard. You will be directed to a site where you can create a user profile (for recurring donations) or enter as a guest for one-time gifts. Combining your gifts when giving online helps keep cost down for the overall budget of the church.

Giving online enables you to give to the eight main funds only: Pledge/Tithe, Missions, Reach Capital Campaign, Choir Fund, First Pres Day School (not for tuition; gifts only), Memorials, Twin Lakes Camp, Disaster Relief, and Brooke Burwell Fund. Gifts to other specific ministries must be made by paper check with the ministry designation made in the memo line.

Note: Contributions scheduled online for the last three days of the month may not show up on your bank account or contribution statement until the following month.

Gifts of cash or checks can be deposited in the offering plate during worship services. Checks should be made payable to First Presbyterian Church.

Contributions can be mailed or delivered directly to the church office at:
First Presbyterian Church
1390 North State Street

First Presbyterian Church’s Funds

Some of the top funds that are supported at First Presbyterian Church are:

  • General Giving and Stewardship (Tithe): This giving supports the church’s direct ministry, operations, and benevolent support of local missions and outreach.
  • Missions Giving: Separate from the general fund described above, Missions Giving supports ministries and missionaries in Mississippi, North America, and around the world.
  • Church Debt Retirement: This fund is designated toward the church’s debt for construction of the Baird Center Gym and classrooms, the new welcome center and Space Utilization project, and capital improvements and maintenance at the church’s Twin Lakes Camp and Conference Center.
  • FPDS Acorn Fund: This is our school’s annual giving initiative. We invite you to invest in the mission of FPDS: to plant seeds of Christlikeness into the hearts of children. Gifts to the FPDS Acorn Fund will benefit each FPDS student, as the school will use the unrestricted funds to provide academic excellence and sow the gospel into every aspect of our children’s education. Your gift will also support keeping tuition competitive by supplementing the school’s annual budget. Planned areas of use for the Acorn Fund are professional development of the school’s staff as they teach and minister to our children, improvements to our school facilities and infrastructure, and enhancements to technology resources in the classroom. Most importantly, a gift to the FPDS Acorn Fund is your opportunity to partner with FPDS as we help grow our children from acorns of faith into “oaks of righteousness.” (Isaiah 61:3).
  • Gift to Twin Lakes: The operation and ministry of the Twin Lakes Camp and Conference Center in Florence, Mississippi, is supported by this fund.

In addition to the above, there are several other ways to make designated gifts to specific projects, ministries, and funds at First Presbyterian Church.  If you would like to discuss these or other ways to make a gift to FPCJ and its ministries, please contact Chase Wynn, Director of Giving and Stewardship, at chasew@fpcjackson.org or 601-973-9118.
