When you give to the church, you are financially supporting the important missions and ministries here at Arab First UMC. We are able to do some great work, both seen and unseen, because of your gifts and for that- we are especially grateful. We want to emphasize the ways that you can give to best support the work that God is doing in and through this church.
- Easiest way to give: simply drop your tithe in the offering plate during Sunday morning worship or drop it by the church office Monday-Thursday, 8AM - 3PM
- Missed worship this week: mail your tithe to: Arab First UMC, PO Box 470, Arab, AL 35016
- Set it and forget it: schedule regular giving online at www.arabumc.org/giving or through the Vanco app. Special note: there is a fee assessed to the church when using a debit/credit card through Vanco. To help with that, you can either 1) choose to pay that fee or 2) choose the free ACH direct bank-to-bank giving option.
Again, thank you for being such a vital part of Arab First UMC, we truly cannot do this without you!
