Giving FAQs

Why give?

Giving nurtures growth in our relationship with Jesus Christ and supports the mission and ministry efforts of Alpharetta First United Methodist Church.

Why complete a pledge card?

Just like every family, the church needs to estimate our annual income so that we know how to manage our budget.
