GIVING

Stewardship is the belief that everything we have belongs to God and is entrusted into our care.
 

At First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville, our annual stewardship campaign is more than a financial commitment—it is a joyful response to the transformative love of Christ. Through our giving, we foster connections that transcend barriers, building a community of hope and discipleship where every person is celebrated and empowered to flourish in the light of God’s love.
 

Your pledge makes this mission tangible: children and youth are nurtured in faith, adults grow in discipleship and relationships with one another, God is praised through word and song, those who are hungry are fed, and those in despair find hope.
 

All of this—and so much more—is possible through the faithful generosity of our congregation.
 

You can give at any time through Realm or by calling the church office at 847-362-2174 during business hours.

Per Capita Contribution

 

Each year, our church is responsible for sending a per capita contribution to the PC(USA) and the Presbytery of Chicago. For 2026, this amount is $38.00 per member. You’ll see this listed on your statement as a reminder to reimburse the church for your portion of this shared obligation. Learn more here.

Pastoral Resident Grant

 

You can support the Pastoral Resident Grant by selecting the option as a one-time gift or setting up a recurring giving schedule.
