Thank you for exploring the giving options at First United Methodist Church of Clarion. Giving is one of the ways as church members we vow to support the many ministries of our church. There are many ways you are able to give your financial contributions—including Smart Giving options such as online giving, texting, etc., all of which are explained below.
THE PLATE
Each Sunday during our morning worship service, the traditional method of passing the plate is observed. If this is your preferred method of giving, and you would like credit for your gift, please use the envelope provided to members or obtain generic envelopes and fill it out with your name, address, and amount. If you are not receiving envelopes and would like them sent to you, please contact the church office at 814-226-6660.
WEB SITE

Please consider scheduling a recurring electronic contribution today. It’s easy! You will no longer need to write out checks and prepare envelopes every week. Even when you travel, or when illness or some other circumstances prevent you from being able to attend services, your electronic contributions will continually be received on an uninterrupted basis.
