Stewardship Campaign 2026: Time-Talent-Treasure-Transformed
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 to pledge for the coming year.
We recognize that stewardship is much more than monetary in nature. You are invited to consider ALL the ways to contribute to the life and community of First Presbyterian Church of Napa this Stewardship season.
TIME
"For I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength." -Philippians 4:13
One of the best ways to be a part of any community is to step out in faith and volunteer your TIME.
For us, this can be as simple as folding bulletins or greeting on a Sunday morning, to becoming a Deacon or serving on our governing board, Session.
When you spend time volunteering your presence is a gift to God and those you serve.
TALENT
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace...so that in all things God may be praised." -1 Peter 4:10-11
What are you good at? Everyone is good at something! God calls us to use our talents to serve others. Are you gifted in hospitality? Musically talented? Sharing your talents brings joy to the giver and to whom it is given.
TREASURE
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." -Matthew 6:21
Every gift matters! As you prayerfully consider your pledge for 2026, we hope you will also consider First Presbyterian Church of Napa in your estate planning. Legacy planning creates an opportunity for your gift to be a blessing for future generations. Gifts of stock, IRA rollovers, charitable trusts, bequests, and donor advised funds are all ways to make a lasting impact beyond your pledge.
Please reach out to get more info: email finance@fpcnapa.org or call 707-224-8693.
TRANSFORMED
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation; the old is gone the new is come." -2 Corinthians 5:17
How will you share your Time, Talent, and Treasure in the coming year? Jesus asks us to bring everything to Him. Through your gifts and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit we become transformed into followers of Christ.
If you have any questions regarding your giving, or if you would like to discuss the various ways to fulfill your pledge in 2026, please email finance@fpcnapa.org.
Q & A:
Who is asked to give through pledging?
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!
What is a pledge to give?
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.
Why should I give through a pledge?
Making a 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.
How do I make a pledge to give in 2026?
Easy! If you currently give through a pledge, you'll receive a next year's Stewardship materials either at church on Sunday or in the mail.
You may also set up your recurring giving for next year online by going HERE. Use the Pledge for 2026 link and set up a one time or recurring donation to begin next year. If you'd like to set up your ACH automatic bank debit through the church office, please email finance@fpcnapa.org.
