2023 Year End Giving
Please consider giving a special one-time year end gift this Christmas season!
WAYS TO GIVE
At First Pres, we believe that giving of our time, energy, and resources is essential to our calling as disciples of Jesus. If you are at the point where you want to start investing financially in the work of our church, we have several ways to give:
Text Giving
Give through text. Text “FPC325” to 73256 and include the amount you’d like to give. Then follow the instructions in the link.
Online Giving
Give online. As a guest, you can give a one time gift through Realm as often as you would like. With a Realm account, you can give as a one time gift or a set frequency (weekly, monthly, bimonthly). Optional - Check the box processing costs, if you are interested in helping the Church cover the extra processing fees to the bank.
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)
Another way to give is through Electronic Fund Transfer. We can set it up so that your bank regularly withdraws a certain amount without you having to write a check. EFTs occur on the 16th of the Month every month. Download a form below and turn it into the church office (office@firstpresaurora.org).
Bill Pay
You can also communicate to your bank that you would like to regularly send a check to First Pres, much as you might do with another bill. Here's how: Go into "Online Banking" on your bank’s website and find the Bill Pay Option. Add "First Presbyterian Church" as a payee and include our address: 325 E. Downer Place, Aurora, IL 60505. Select a date and an amount, then schedule or automate a payment.
Offering Boxes
Look for our Offering Boxes at the entrance to each door of the Sanctuary. You may drop your checks off before or after each worship service.
You are always welcome to mail in your checks. Please send checks to our church office: 325 E. Downer Place, Aurora, IL 60505.
