Giving Back to God
Giving our tithes and offerings reflects a grateful heart that wants to give back to God a portion of what He has given us. First United Methodist Church of Northville (FUMC) offers our church family and visitors a variety of giving methods. Your generosity is appreciated as it enables FUMC to continue its ministries locally and around the world.
Please contact us with any questions or for church app training and online giving account set up support.
