Ways to Give

Each year in the fall, members of the congregation are invited to make a pledge for the coming year, indicating their level of financial commitment. This allows the Session of the church to prepare the annual budget, based on a reasonable expectation of income for the next year. Pledge amounts are kept confidential. Information on making a pledge and the relevant forms can be found at Pledging.

Pledge payments -- and payments towards any other special gifts -- may be made through a variety of options, ranging from weekly offering envelopes to online banking. The following is a comprehensive list.

Use your bank’s automated bill payment feature to make your pledge payment each month, each week, or each quarter. You decide. Use the online banking tools of your bank to set up FPC (First Presbyterian Church) as an “automatic bill pay account.” This feature allows you to set up an automatic, recurring payment to FPC- you choose the date and the amount- and the checks will be generated and sent automatically to the church each month. The name for this service is slightly different with each bank, simply look at the online tools provided with your bank to see how easy it can be to schedule an automatic, recurring payment to FPC to spread your pledge payments throughout the year. Checks should be addressed as follows:

Payee: FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Address: 97 EAST GENESEE STREET, SKANEATELES, NY 13152
Memo line: 2024 Pledge (or whatever language describes where you want payment to go)

Personal checks should be made out to First Presbyterian Church, with the purpose of the payment (Pledge, Peacemaking Offering, Memorial Gift, etc.) indicated on the memo line. Checks may be delivered in person during normal office hours or mailed to us at the address indicated above.
