Your tithes and gifts are vital to the ministries and missions in and through our church. We are very grateful to you for your generosity and faithfulness. If you have any questions about giving, please reach out to Central’s Director of Finance, Keri Hays, at khays@centraltolife.com.

In every way, I've shown you that by laboring like this, it is necessary to help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

Ways to Give

Virtually all of Central’s budgetary needs are met through annual giving. The operating budget for the church includes funding for all administration, debt payments, facility maintenance, ministries, personnel, and shared ministries. The best way to help Central meet our ongoing ministries and missions it to donate to our Annual Giving, preferably on a recurring basis.

Each November, the Central family is offered the opportunity to covenant with God for the coming year in how we will live out our membership vows by supporting the church with our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

Central’s needs are much the same from month to month. So, the most helpful way to support the church financially is by providing gifts on a regular basis (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), either through the offering received each week or by an electronic gift, which can be set up through our website. If you prefer to provide gifts of appreciated stock or other assets, you may feel free to contact Central’s Director of Finance & HR, Keri Hays, at khays@centraltolife.com or 479-442-1829.

Planned and Forever Giving

Members of Central United Methodist Church give generously of their time and resources to support Central’s mission of making Christ central to life in Northwest Arkansas and throughout the world. Planned giving provides these generous members with the opportunity to further this mission and to support the future needs of our church past their lifetime.

While annual giving supports the operational expenses of the Church and funds the annual budget, planned giving offers a way for Central to address needs beyond those contained in the annual budget. When members remember Central in their wills, trusts, retirement accounts, life insurance designations, or other assets, they are providing future ongoing support to Central’s mission and ministries.

If you have questions about planned giving, please contact Keri Hays at khays@centraltolife.com or 479-442-1829 with any questions or for more information about planned giving. A few additional resources that might prove helpful in your estate planning include a list of local estate planning attorneys and our Methodist Foundation of Arkansas.
