Hello First Church friends and family,
Our Stewardship and Finance Team, along with our Finance Manager, are sharing the new 2026 Year-to-Date Financial Report for Lawrence First United Methodist Church.
If you would like a printed copy, please let us know at the Church Office and we will provide one. We are offering printed copies by request to help reduce paper waste.
Church family, thank you for your continued faithfulness and generosity! As we reflect on the first nine months of 2026, we celebrate the many ways God is moving through First Church—from growing ministries and meaningful connections to new opportunities to serve our community.
While our financial report reflects a year-to-date deficit of approximately $59,000, we remain committed to faithful stewardship, transparency, and responsible planning.
As we continue our journey from Good to Great, I invite us to remain prayerful, engaged, and generous. Together, we are not simply sustaining a church—we are investing in a ministry that transforms lives.
The work is meaningful, the mission is strong, and our future is something we are building together!
With gratitude and joy,
Rev. Dr. Kirstie J. Engel
