The Firstfruits Funding System is a key foundational expression of our new identity in Mennonite Church USA. Biblical in its moorings and practical in its methods, its aim is to help families and congregations support the whole of churchwide work beyond themselves as one unit, composed of many parts.
Firstfruits Funding is a set of principles and relationships rather than a rigid system.
Giving is centered in the congregation as an act of worship.
Households, congregations, area conferences and churchwide agencies covenant to give beyond themselves on a percentage basis so that giving increases as capacity increases.
Giving is regular and predictable rather than lumped at the end of the year.
Churchwide agencies report regularly to their supporters and find ways to engage them in their ministries.
Online Giving:
Not only can you eliminate the time-consuming process of writing multiple checks, you can align your charitable giving with the parts of the church that best connect with your personal values. It's an easy way to give that allows us to provide credit/debit card giving in a cost-effective way.
We are happy that you are visiting the College Mennonite Church website. We are a community of believers empowered by the spirit experiencing and extending Christ's love to you.
If you are looking for a place of worship where you can grow in faith, with a supportive group of people, programs to assist you with daily concerns, and a congregation which values outreach to all people, we are confident that you will feel at home here.
