2025 Stewardship Campaign
Dear Church Family,
As we approach a new budget year, we reflect on the abundant blessings and steadfast faith that have guided First Presbyterian Church Gastonia. Our theme for this year's stewardship campaign is "Courage and Commitment," inspired by the powerful words of 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.” This verse reminds us that we are called to step forward with courage and unwavering commitment.
As we look ahead, we encourage each member of our church to consider how they can embody this spirit of bold faith. First, we invite you to make a pledge towards our Church's mission and ministries. Your financial support is vital in allowing us to continue our work in spreading God's love and serving our community and the world. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a testament to your faith and dedication.
Second, we challenge you to commit to something new within our church. This might mean joining a small group to deepen your understanding of God's Word, volunteering for one of our many service opportunities, or simply making a renewed commitment to regular attendance at our worship services. Each of these actions not only enriches your own spiritual journey but also strengthens the fabric of our church family.
Kindly return your completed pledge cards on Commitment Sunday, Oct. 27, or prior to that date if you will be away. Let us move forward with courage, knowing that God’s spirit empowers us with love and self-discipline. Together, we can accomplish great things and further the mission of our Church. Thank you for your continued faithfulness and generosity. We are excited about the coming year and how we will grow and serve together.
With courage and commitment,
Stewardship Committee
