Our mission at First Presbyterian Church of Napa is to help people Connect to God and each other, Be Transformed into followers of Christ, and Serve God and one another. As we begin our 2023 Stewardship Campaign, members and friends of First Presbyterian Church of Napa are asked to prayerfully consider making a commitment and pledge for the coming year.

To learn more about the who, what, why, and how of pledging, take a look below!

If you are ready to pledge, click on the links below!

We encourage members of our church to renew their pledge every year. However, many people who have not officially joined our church make a pledge as well. They recognize that our church needs the financial support of everyone who participates in the life of the church. Every pledge counts; every pledge matters!

A pledge is an estimate of what you intend to give to the church in the coming year. It is not like paying taxes, a mortgage or membership dues. Your pledge is a statement of intent, it is not a contract. How much you pledge is a personal decision made with your situation and means taken into consideration.

But more than that, it is a spiritual discipline that reflects God's generosity of love shown to us through Jesus Christ. Placing the church in your financial plans for the coming year demonstrates that your faith is a priority in your life.

Making a pledge is a very tangible way of saying that you intend to financially support the ministry and mission of our church. It enables the church leadership to more accurately forecast church revenues and plan operating expenses and mission giving appropriately. Your annual pledge not only ensures that the lights stay on, but also that our staff and volunteers may continue to love and serve our congregation and community. It allows us to dream about new ways to Connect, Be Transformed, and Serve in the year ahead. See below what your pledge makes possible!

Easy! If you currently pledge, you'll receive a pledge card in the mail with a self-addressed stamped envelope to return your card. If you have not received your pledge card in the mail, click on the button below and download the 2023 Stewardship Form, or pledge online using the link below. If you need assistance or have any questions, we'd be happy to help!
