GIVING
First UMC accepts online & text offerings. Contributions can be debited automatically from your checking or savings account or processed using your credit or debit card. Our electronic giving program offers convenience for you and much-needed donation consistency for our congregation. If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need to write out 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes. And, when travel, illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, this program will allow your weekly offerings to continue on an uninterrupted basis. Please note that electronic contributions will be posted to your online account within a week. To give by text, simply text fumcsalemva and amount to 73256 on your smart phone. (Ex: fumcsalemva $50)
