Stewardship
Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived. He gave his life so that we might live. As Christians, we give our time, talent, and money joyfully in response to Jesus’ generosity and to help more people meet Jesus.
As a community, we take joy in the ways our faith is made stronger through giving and receiving together. There is a satisfaction that comes from following Jesus’ example of generosity toward those most in need, and it is a privilege to use our resources and time to continue telling God’s story and help bring measurable change in the world.

Mobile App
You can use the Vanco Mobile Faith Engagement App to make Online Giving on a smart phone even easier. Vanco Mobile is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Search for “Vanco Mobile Faith Engagement” to download the app, When you open the Vanco Mobile app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the name of the church you want to give to. You can enter “Buford Presbyterian” and then select our church from the list. You will need to then create an account if you have not already done so.
Make a Stewardship Pledge
What is a Pledge?
A pledge is a commitment of financial support for the year, which runs from January through December. You can give to the church without pledging, of course. We encourage annual pledges because making and keeping promises is an important spiritual discipline that fosters faithfulness and mutual responsibility. Pledges also help the Finance Committee to plan the budget more wisely.
Fulfilling your Pledge
Making a pledge commitment is the first step, and fulfilling it with your donations happens throughout the year. Typically pledges are paid in increments, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Some people put checks in the offering plate at worship. Others make one-time or recurring gifts throughout the year by utilizing the online giving or mobile app.
