Next Year – Pledging

Your annual pledge is more than a financial commitment—it’s a spiritual act of trust and generosity. Pledges support the General Fund, which fuels the day-to-day ministries, worship, outreach, and operations of Edmond First United Methodist Church.

Whether it’s Sunday worship, youth programs, mission trips, or pastoral care, your pledge helps make it all possible. Most members give regularly to the “offering plate,” which supports the church’s annual budget and ongoing ministry needs.

You can also make designated gifts to specific projects or outreach efforts—like camp scholarships, community meals, or sanctuary enhancements. These gifts go directly to the ministries that matter most to you.

Your pledge fuels the ministries that shape lives, build faith, and serve Edmond with love.

Future – Endowment Giving

Endowment giving is a powerful way to ensure the future of Edmond First UMC. Unlike annual pledges, endowment gifts are invested to provide ongoing income for the life of the church—supporting ministries year after year, generation after generation.

Endowments are:

  • Permanent: The original gift is preserved and grows over time
  • Purposeful: You can designate your gift to a ministry close to your heart
  • Impactful: Even a single gift can support ministry for decades

We partner with the Oklahoma Methodist Foundation to manage and grow our endowment funds. Whether you give today, plan a future gift, or contribute appreciated assets, endowment giving offers spiritual and financial rewards—including potential tax benefits.

Currently, Edmond First has six named endowment funds:

  • Building Investment: Income for building, property, and maintenance projects as needed and determined by the Board of Trustees.
  • Church & Community Outreach: Income for Church program ministries and Community Outreach programs including but not limited to: Food & Meal projects; Church camps; Sunday School classes for Children, Youth, and Adults; Hospitality ministries; and other Educational programs administered by volunteers and staff.
  • Close to the Heart Endowment in Honor of Burchie Louthan Smith: Income for Vacation Bible School and Women’s Ministries including: Programming support for FUMC’s annual VBS; Women’s Ministries including their related child care expenses; and Fine Arts educationsla programs and projects for youth and children..
  • Coffman Endowment: Income for College Ministry.
  • General Endowment: Income for the operating budget and other noncapital projects as determined by the Finance Committee.
  • Music Ministry: Income for Music Ministries including: Stipends for guest musicians and non-staff performers; acquisition of new performance music; purchase and maintenance of musical equipment; scholarships for student musicians; support for music education and special music programming; and purchase or maintenance of attire used for music performances.
  • Sandini Endowment: Support of Care Ministry including hospital visitation, educational training for those engaged in Care Ministry, and individual outreach to those who are unable to attend church in person.

We invite individuals, Sunday School classes, and mission groups to consider establishing a new named endowment (minimum $25,000) or contributing to an existing one. Once established, gifts of any amount can be added at any time.
