Giving & Payments
Thank you for your support of the mission and ministry that we share! At First Lutheran we believe we are at our best when we are giving of our time, talents, and treasures. All we have is a gift from God, and we are all invited to prayerfully consider our call as stewards of all God has entrusted to us.
Ways to Give
Time & Talent
Giving is not only about how our congregation gives financially, but it is also about you! Every member of First Lutheran has countless opportunities to live faithfully in daily life by sharing of our time and talents within our church and community.
Financial Giving
Our financial offerings, gifts, and tithes are a direct way of giving of something that matters to us in response to all God has done for us. There are many ways in which members and friends can make a financial contribution to the General Fund at First Lutheran.

You can make a secure, online offering on a one-time or recurring basis. Electronic giving allows you to select which fund or ministry your offering will support. When you give in this way, you have the option of creating an account to store your information. You can then log in each time you give or set up your contributions to be recurring as a consistent way to support our ministry. You may also choose to use this feature without setting up a login account.
Text the dollar amount you wish to give to 320.500.6014 and follow the prompts to complete your donation. Account setup is simple and only needed at the time of your first gift. Subsequent offerings can be completed by simply sending the dollar amount to the number above.
First Lutheran Church Endowment Fund is an investment fund established to make consistent withdrawals from invested captial. Our Endowment Fund has been funded entirely by donations that are deducted for the donors. If you have a request for funds please fill out the form below and return it to the church office. The Endowment Team meets on a bi-monthly basis to review requests.
The Simply Giving Program allows you to give regularly without having to write a check, even when you are unable to attend worship. With Simply Giving, you choose when and how often your offering is made and which fund/ministry it will support. This automatic, recurring offering may be drawn from your:
