Generosity isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.
By sharing our blessings, we spark a ripple effect of hope and transformation.
Together, let’s live generously, reflect God’s love, and make a lasting impact on the world.
Why We Give
In Luke 12:48 Jesus shares “…to who much is given, much will be required.” This text illuminates a theme throughout the bible that we are responsible to steward the time, talents and (not or) financial resources in proportion to how we have been blessed by God’s goodness.
Through your generosity, lives are changed—both in our church and in our community.

Building Debt Reduction Fund
Floris UMC has successfully built a campus valued at $31.25 million. Since construction, we have worked to secure the financial future of the church while paying off debt. Through your contributions to capital campaigns, including Dream, we have reduced our debt from $13.8 million in 2010 to less than $3.5 million today.
The campus building continues to serve others in our community, especially during the pandemic. You can contribute to lowering our church’s debt by giving today.
Stories of Impact
These stories wouldn’t be possible without your generosity. Together, we’re making a real, lasting impact through Christ.
Mission Trips
Your gifts have helped fund mission trips locally, nationally and internationally, where we share Christ’s love and serve communities in need. From building a hospital in Sierra Leone, being a presence in Cuba, and mentoring women in Honduras, to home repairs in Kentucky and removing debris from homes in Western North Carolina, we have travelled to be with many in their time of need while deepening our faithful convictions through serving. Your generosity makes this possible.
Students
The now 11th grade class decided last year that they wanted to go deeper in their faith, so they organized a mid-week Bible study. They have just marked one year of meeting regularly mid-week and the growth in their relationships with each other and with God is evident. Their example encouraged the current 9th grade class to organize a mid-week study of their own. These students are finding time outside of regular student ministry to meet and grow in their faith.
Community Outreach
Through your generosity, in 2024 we were able to teach over 350 students English as a Second Language, provide 2,517 meals to food insecure neighbors in partnership with FACETS, supply 6,480 Help Hungry Kids weekend meals to students at Hutchison Elementary School, provide food to 5,493 individuals and 1,180 households through our monthly Grace Ministries food distribution, and so much more, coming alongside people wherever they are in life offering hope and support.
Christmas Eve Giving
Since 2006, over $5million has been generously given to care for the vulnerable, support our community, and respond to needs both locally and globally. Through our partnerships and our own Community and World Impact fund, the impact of your generosity continues to grow.
Acts of Service
A young woman with her very first paycheck came to Floris after services and made a huge goods donation to Help Hungry Kids. She purchased so much from Costco that it filled 2 large kitchen carts full of the items needed. She would not allow pictures or thanks, only that she had been a student who received the snacks and had never forgotten it. She wanted to give generously just as she had been given to generously.
