Giving
Because God has given to us, we give to our church, our community, and our world.
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 2023. 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!
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.

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.
