First and foremost, we encourage you to pray and seek God’s leading on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him, and then listen to what He says. Engage in personal reflection with God in this First to the Lord Guide. Talk with your community group, your spouse, your family, friends, or others about what this commitment will mean for this next season of your life. We are asking that you make a commitment to Gospel-driven, Jesus-centered generosity, Holy Spirit-empowered – whatever it is that God leads you to do. Follow His leading. Finally, prepare to celebrate! It is an awesome God that we serve, and we anticipate He will move in huge ways through our collective First to the Lord commitments – something only God can do. Please mark your calendar for Commitment Sunday, October 29th, and prepare to experience a life-changing worship service that will forever be remembered as a defining moment for our church and for our own faith.

Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give towards First to the Lord. You might have some stocks you’d like to donate. Or you may have some stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He might be calling you to give out during this time. Please let us know if you need assistance with facilitating gifts of property or stock, and we would be happy to help you with that. You can contact our staff at giving@redeemermidland.org to make a gift of this type.

All tithes and general fund giving, as well as giving to the building fund, will be funneled into one fund called “All Giving – First to the Lord”. You will notice the name of the general fund change online beginning in November 2023. We will still have additional funds open for special opportunities and needs, such as, Benevolence, Foster/Adoption, Church Planting, and others as specific needs arise. Please feel free to continue to give to those as well as your First to the Lord commitment.
