"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." Matthew 7:24

Our mission at First Presbyterian Church of Napa is to help people Connect to God and each other, Be Transformed into followers of Christ, and Serve God and one another. Members and friends of First Presbyterian Church of Napa are asked to prayerfully consider making a commitment and pledge to faithfully give for the coming year.

Building Requires Teamwork

As we look back on the challenges of 2024 and look forward to the fulfillment of the hopes and dreams for 2025, we have learned that working together makes such a difference!

Your generous support of the ministries and operation of First Presbyterian Church of Napa ensures our continued presence as a foundation of faith in downtown Napa.

When you commit to give in 2025, we can build on and continue to ensure that the legacy of faith that began over 150 years ago will continue for generations to come.

If you have any questions regarding your giving, or if you would like to discuss the various ways to fulfill your pledge in 2025, please contact Carmen Garcia, Finance Manager, at 707-224-8693, or finance@fpcnapa.org.

We encourage members of our church to renew their pledge every year. However, many people who have not officially joined our church make a pledge to give as well. They recognize that our church needs the financial support of everyone who participates in the life of the church. Every gift counts; every gift matters!

A pledge to give is an estimate of what you intend to give to the church in the coming year. It is not like paying taxes, a mortgage or membership dues. Your pledge to give is a statement of intent, not a contract. How much you pledge to give is a personal decision made with your situation and means taken into consideration.

But more than that, it is a spiritual discipline that reflects God's generosity of love shown to us through Jesus Christ. Placing the church in your financial plans for the coming year demonstrates that your faith is a priority in your life and helps to build upon the legacy of faith that began at the First Presbyterian Church of Napa over 150 years ago.

Making a giving pledge is a very tangible way of saying that you intend to financially support the ministry and mission of our church. It enables the church leadership to more accurately forecast church revenues and plan operating expenses and mission giving appropriately. Your annual giving not only ensures that the lights stay on, but also that our staff and volunteers may continue to love and serve our congregation and community. It allows us to dream about new ways to Connect, Be Transformed, and Serve in the year ahead. See below what your giving makes possible!

Easy! If you currently give through a pledge, you'll receive a Building a Legacy of Faith card in the mail with a self-addressed stamped envelope to mail back to the church office. If you haven't received one and want to give toward 2025, click on the button below to download the 2025 Building a Legacy of Faith Pledge Form.

You may also set up your recurring giving for next year online by going HERE. Use the Pledge for 2025 link and set up a one time or recurring donation to begin next year. Please note, that if you set up your giving online, there is a fee incurred which you have the option of paying or not. If you'd like to set up your ACH automatic bank debit through the church office, please contact our Finance Manager (below).

If you need assistance or have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them!
