Giving

Because God has given to us, we give to our church, our community, and our world.

Year-End Giving

As we approach the end of the calendar year, we look back on a year filled with hope and promise. We appreciate how the Sycamore congregation has continued to give faithfully and hope that you can see each week how your tithes are being put to work in God’s service through the ministries we support like Elijah House Academy and the Pregnancy Resource Center, through the missionaries we support like Tim & Therese Galage and the Gelstons in Germany and many others, and through our own fellowship opportunities like the Back Yard Bash and fresh hot coffee every Sunday morning! We encourage you to continue to give faithfully as we look forward to a new year of growth and opportunity for our church family. If you are planning to make a year-end contribution, please remember that they must be delivered or postmarked by December 31 in order to claim a deduction for 2024. You can also donate electronically by clicking HERE.

Did you know a gift in the form of appreciated securities is a tax efficient way of making a donation to the church? By donating appreciated securities which have been held for more than one year, you avoid the capital gains tax and the church pays no capital gains tax when it sells the donated security. If you would like to donate individual stocks or mutual funds, you can initiate the transfer through your broker and request that the shares be transferred to: Charles Schwab, DTC No: 0164, Account Name: Sycamore Presbyterian Church, Account No: 3422-1468.

Thank you for your partnership in God’s work!

Why give?

One of the biggest struggles a Christian faces is developing a healthy relationship with possessions. Even good things can overtake our relationship with Jesus Christ, becoming contrary to God’s intent. Material things are not bad things, until they take the place of God. We believe in the faithful management of our material things so they bring glory to God.

What are the different ways I can give?

In person: Bring your offering to the worship service and place it in the plate at the back of the sanctuary. Or you may place it in an envelope and drop it in the black lock box located on the church office. By mail: Send your check to Sycamore Presbyterian Church at 510 Coalfield Road, Midlothian, VA, 23114. Online: Use Online Giving to give from your bank account (called an ACH or eCheck payment), a debit card, or a credit card.

Are giving reports available?

Yes, you can download and print your own statements with the online giving option.

Should I still give using my credit card if I'm not sure I can pay my bills?

NO! Our leadership does not wish you take on credit card debt in order to give. If you are taking on debt by giving an amount that you cannot pay off each month, DO NOT give by credit card. If you need financial counseling or help in any way, we have several training resources that we use to help you learn to honor God with your finances. Our deacons would be glad to assist you with this. Just press the green button at the bottom-right of the screen and let us know how we can help.
