Giving at Watertown FirstChurch is so much more than financial. We believe that God calls us to give of our Time, our Talent, & our Treasure! There must be a solid balance of these three for us to carry on the mission God has given us.
The time we spend with God is important. Taking time each day to read scripture, talk with God through prayer, and use our gifts to serve will draw us closer to God. When we come together to do these things in community, the church (God’s people) grows stronger.
Scripture talks about Talents (Matthew 25). Jesus taught in this parable that we should put our talents to work for God. (It was talking about money, but the translated word applies.) Whether you sing, play an instrument, create art, teach, have strong administrative skills or something else altogether, God wants you to use those gifts to strengthen Christ’s Body, the church (1 Corinthians 12).
To learn more about serving with your talents, fill out this form, and we’ll connect with you.
The Bible tells us “Where your treasure is, your heart is also” (Matthew 6:21). Giving financially to support the ministries of FirstChurch is an important spiritual step in growing closer to God.
