Giving to First Church
First Church’s ability to live out our calling to seek and understand God, provide a radical welcome to all, and strive for justice is made possible through the generosity of members and friends. Your gifts allow us to be God’s beloved community in the heart of downtown Washington, DC.

Stewardship
Dear First Church Community,
Stewardship season is upon us! From October 20 through November 17 (Commitment Sunday) we will be focusing on the ways in which we support First Church financially and the importance this commitment has, both on our experience as members and on our impact in the wider community. During worship, in our newsletter, and on our website, we will have the opportunity to hear from several members about their commitment to First Church. It is always inspiring to hear many different perspectives about what makes First Church special and worthy of our support.
This year’s theme is “Imagine Together”. What can we imagine for our church community? And how can our financial support make these imaginings possible?
I look forward to this journey, and I hope you will join in imagining ways we can continue to grow and thrive as a sacred community.
In fellowship,
Mary Hayes, Finance Chair
Throughout the Stewardship season, First Church members offer testimonies about why they give to First Church
From Fredda Sparks:
“I could tell you about how much attending worship, serving on various commissions, learning from so many wise folks, and making deep friendships has meant to me over the last twenty-five years. All true. And all good reasons to continue my support.
But what about now? What’s different about now? And why do I feel that it is more important than ever to make sure there continues to be a thriving First Church community at Tenth and G?” (Read more.)
