Ways to Give

Generosity is both a virtue and a practice.

AT SHANDON UMC, WE SEEK TO EMBODY GENEROSITY BY GIVING OF OUR PRAYERS, PRESENCE, GIFTS, SERVICE, AND WITNESS.

Financial generosity is a key way we embody our belief in God as the source of all we have while also growing in our faith.

Our financial gifts enable us to play a significant role in all of God’s work at Shandon UMC, while also empowering the church to faithfully love and serve our neighbors.

Shandon has several ways you can give to God’s work through your tithes and offerings, donations, memorials, and planned giving.

Make a Pledge

We pray you have been investing some time in discerning your continued support of Shandon UMC and our ministries.

As you feel called to respond to the invitation to be a regular, intentional, and generous giver we invite all you to make an estimate of giving—a pledge—which enables our congregation to faithfully plan, imagine possibilities, and commit to partnerships in our community.
