For 125 years, our building has stood on Church Street, with doors open to everyone. For 175 years, this community of people called Methodists has served our neighbors in McKinney and beyond. And for hundreds of years before that, people all around the globe have been the Church, following the teaching and example of Jesus to love one another.

Maybe you’ve only been part of First United Methodist Church McKinney for a short time. Maybe your ancestors were here when the church was founded. But either way, we are all part of this Church Together.

 
As generations before us have faithfully served, we are called to be the Church today. To worship together, to grow in community, to care for the least, the last, and the lost. To make sure that for generations to come, there will be a church to welcome and love them.
 

We’re asking all who are connected to First United Methodist McKinney to be the Church Together in the following ways:

  • If this is your church and you are not giving intentionally, respond in faith and start giving on a regular basis. Your church depends on your faithfulness and generosity.
  • If you are already giving, respond in faith by tithing. A tithe is the Biblical model of giving a tenth to the Lord. This is a powerful act of faith.
  • If you are already tithing, respond in faith by considering an additional gift to bless the work and ministries of our church in the year to come.

Over the next few weeks, we will be talking about how purposeful, regular giving is a spiritual discipline allowing us to be the Church Together. Please pray and consider how you can use your money to share God’s overflowing love through the work of the church.

Fill out and return your estimate of giving card. This isn’t a contract, but it helps your church staff plan our missions, ministries, and financial commitments for 2027. We hope to have everyone’s estimate of giving by November 8. You can also fill out the card online at www.sharingtheheart.org/together or you can drop your card off at the church anytime.
 
We ask you to join us in praying that First United Methodist McKinney and Melissa UMC will continue to be the Church Together through our ministry in Collin County, North Texas, and the world.
