New Giving Portal

New and Improved Giving Portal!
You may have noticed that we began phasing in a new giving portal recently. It will make it easier to give to multiple areas in one transaction (like a special mission gift and your tithe). It works like an online shopping cart where you add items and then checkout.

NOTE: If you had an account on our old giving platform, you will need a new account to log into our new portal. You will get a letter with more instructions about your old account. In the meanwhile, please email Caitlin if you have any questions.

Help Ukraine

First Methodist McKinney is proud to work with the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The humanitarian aid arm of the United Methodist Church, UMCOR is there to provide relief when war, storms, and natural disasters strike anywhere on the globe. Because your normal giving supports the operating budget of UMCOR, 100 percent of your special gift today will go directly to people and communities in crisis.
