​ Generosity is a gift from God! 

​​​   One of the greatest gifts disciples of Jesus Christ experience is through financial giving. 
​Being generous with our money demonstrates our 
   faithful to God as we recognize how ultimately faithful God is to us.

Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, the people of St. Francis welcome you....just as you are.
General Giving
​
We are called to tithe, 10% of all we earn goes to the local church in order to continue the message of hope that comes from our belief and faith in God, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.   Make the commitment today to begin a financial commitment.  Whether you are tithing, working towards a tithe, or just beginning to offer a portion of your income to Christ--you will be blessed.  To learn more about the general operating expenses at St. Francis, feel free to talk to Pastor Andy or pick up a budget at the church office.   ​
