Give
Your generosity shares the love of Jesus Christ with Big Pine Key and beyond.
Every gift funds worship, campus ministries, and gatherings here at home. It carries the gospel to inner-city Miami-Dade County, to kids in Monroe County, to foster children, and to communities recovering from disaster. It also helps us build a congregation on Big Pine Key that is a true expression of the gospel, with real hospitality where nobody is turned away. Thank you for helping us love our neighbors.

Give onlineWhy it matters here
What your giving does
We are a congregation whose size swings with the season, on an island where everything costs more to maintain. Steady giving is what lets us plan past next month.
Showers for neighbors
Keeps the showers running for our neighbors without housing, every week.
Open doors for recovery
Keeps our doors open to the AA and NA groups who meet here.
Summers for local kids
Helps send our children to the Boys and Girls Club for summer programming.
The wider church
A portion goes to apportionments, the shared giving that funds United Methodist disaster relief, missionaries and ministries no single church could support alone.
Other ways to give
However suits you
Sunday
In the offering plate
The plate passes during worship. Cash, or a check made out to Big Pine United Methodist Church. If you are a guest, there is no pressure to give. If you feel compelled to give to the mission and work that Big Pine UMC is doing, you are more than welcome to as well.

Ongoing
Recurring gifts
A steady monthly gift, even a small one, helps us plan more than a larger one-time gift. You can set one up through the online giving link.
In memory or honor
Memorial gifts
Note the person’s name when you give, and we will let their family know.
Every 5th Sunday
Residing Hope
On every 5th Sunday, we give to Residing Hope, formerly the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home. It is a foster-home network of last resort for many kids around Florida.
Special offerings
Disaster relief through UMCOR
We hold special offerings for UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, to support disaster relief efforts in the United States and around the world.
Long term

Not money
Give your time
Towels and soap for the shower ministry, a hand at the spring health fair, a voice in the choir. Giving is not only financial. Call the office to ask what is needed.
