“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” Hebrews 13:16
An annual budget underwrites the activities that maintain and advance God’s work and we welcome your gifts to support OPC’s ministry. God will activate all our gifts as we respond to His call to commit our lives to Christ’s service in the church, community, and the world.
There are many opportunities for giving at Oxford Presbyterian Church. First, we give our hearts to Christ and commit our lives to Christ’s service in the church, community, and world. This site describes many ways we give ourselves in worship and service. The ministry of the church is also supported by the faithful financial giving of the congregation to the general budget and to special causes.
The Church Budget provides for the many programs and mission of the church. Members of the church are encouraged to make an annual pledge to Christ’s mission through OPC.

Additional Opportunities for Giving
You may also wish to give to support a variety of unique needs not covered by our operating budget.
Special Gifts Program
The special gifts program was established as an avenue for giving which extends beyond ongoing pledge obligations and weekly offerings. Thanksgiving gifts (up to $1,000) might be given in memory of or in honor of an individual or in recognition of a special occasion such as a birthday, wedding, etc. Major gifts (over $1,000) are typically extended for special needs that cannot be supported via our operating budget. These gifts are typically guided by the Wish List which details opportunities for extended giving and can be provided in the church office or from the special gifts coordinator. Major gifts may also be given in memory of or in honor of an individual and gifts of $10,000 or more can be defined as a named fund within our endowment.
Special gifts may take the form of cash donations (check), gifts of stocks or securities, gifts-in-kind, or bequests. Those considering a major gift may contact Bill King, special gifts coordinator, by phone at (513) 720-7345 or by email (kingwl@miamioh.edu). Donors may also contact the church office by calling (513) 523-6364.
