Covenant Giving

“For us, Service and Outreach enables us to reach out to fellow congregants, neighbors, community members and others in the world. Whether it’s a basket for a family with a newborn, a hot meal at a time of need or a few hours volunteering with a community partner, it’s our way to share with our neighbor. After all, we are all God’s children and we are only as fulfilled as those around us.”

Christian education is not merely about the dissemination of knowledge; it is the cultivation of character, the shaping of values, and the formation of a life dedicated to the service of others and the glory of God.

“For over 200 years, members of the First Presbyterian Church of Lynchburg have ensured that God’s church here at First Presbyterian can continue Christ’s ministry.  I believe that it is our duty as current church members to make certain that we steward this legacy for future generations.”

"Christ tells us to lay up our treasures in heaven and not on earth. Our giving is simply a faithful response, knowing where our treasure and heart is.”

“God has given me so much. It is only right that I give back to him. I want to see First Pres thrive and continue long after I am gone. Why are we here if not to help others?”
