Giving

The mission and vision of Naperville Presbyterian Church (NPC) are accomplished through the development of a generous, sacrificial and disciplined approach to personal finance for all ages. This is both a privilege and a responsibility for those that call Naperville Presbyterian Church home. There are four main funds through which NPC receives and disburses gifts to expand the Kingdom of God.

General Fund

The ongoing, day-to-day ministry of Naperville Presbyterian Church is funded through contributions to the General Fund. In the fall of each year the Session approves a budget for the coming year. This includes expenditures in such ministry areas as Worship, Adult, Children, Youth, Outreach/Assimilation, World Outreach, Care and Counseling. It also includes staff expenses, building maintenance, administrative expenses and a portion of our mortgage expenses.

World Outreach Fund

While the General Fund includes certain annual expenditures for supporting World Outreach Ministries, there are also opportunities for designated "over and above" giving to World Outreach in order to fund unique mission opportunities. These include things such as special one-time gifts to support a short-term missions trip being made by a group of Naperville Presbyterian Church members, funding a church planting effort in one of our designated missions areas (Mexico or Asia), or supporting a Chicago area church planting effort.

Benevolence Fund

Naperville Presbyterian Church (NPC) deacons oversee the disbursement of benevolence moneys to families in need (within and outside NPC) as well as local agencies which are in the care giving business.

Building Fund

Ongoing contributions to the building fund are used to pay down the church mortgage. Our goal is to significantly reduce our debt over the next few years in order to direct additional funds to a variety of local, Chicago area and worldwide ministries.

For those with unique giving needs or questions, Naperville Presbyterian Church through its association with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) Foundation, can put people in touch with appropriate professionals who can aid in the design of estate plans, allow people to give anonymously, allow people to give gifts of appreciated property, and explain how people can give a tax deductible gift now and decide later how it should be distributed.
