2024 Stewardship
GPS for the Journey
Where is FPC going in 2024? What is our GPS DESTINATION?
This Fall, 2023, as we have looked at the book of 1st Corinthians, our focus has been on various aspects of the Gospel Solution—Paul’s directions to the church at Corinth, encouraging and correcting them, as they found their way as disciples. The Gospel—the good news in Jesus Christ, was their solution—their GPS for the journey.
As we think about [the questions above] and where we are going, we need to think about three factors, represented by the letters G-P-S.
How is Jesus GATHERING us together for our growth and His Glory?
How is Jesus PREPARING us for his mission to our neighbors and the nations through both challenges and opportunities?
How is Jesus sending us to SERVE – both as a church and as families—by providing resources, opportunities, con-nections, and capabilities for his Kingdom?
– Rev. Dr. Bob Fuller
As an act of Gathering, Preparing, and Serving in response to God’s generous gifts and by faith, we set aside Sunday, November 19, to commit to supporting the ministry and mission of First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio for the next year. Please read the information that you will receive this November and pray that the Lord will lead you in your support of FPC in 2024.
Make a Faith Commitment and join in our service of dedication on November 19, 2023.
A Faith Commitment is a plan to support the work of the church financially in 2024. Commitment Cards are available in the November First Press Magazine, in the brochure mailed to each household, at the church, and online by clicking the link below.

Ask God to open the door for you to give generously to the ministry of First Presbyterian Church.

Dear FPC Church Family,
What is the GPS of First Presbyterian Church? What is our personal GPS?
This Fall, 2023, as we have looked at the book of 1st Corinthians, our focus has been on various aspects of the Gospel Solution—Paul’s directions to the church at Corinth, encouraging and correcting them, as they found their way as disciples. The Gospel—the good news in Jesus Christ, was their solution—their GPS for the journey.
How are we called as we journey into 2024?
At First Presbyterian Church, we’ve identified three aspects of our Gospel Solution. Our mission is to help people find their way as disciples by:
- Loving Jesus Christ
- Loving One Another
- Loving the City (and beyond)
During this season, we are asking many questions to make sure we are on the right path. Are we fueled by gratitude? Do we acknowledge God’s goodness and generosity to us? Do we encourage one another? Build up one another towards the goals God intends? Who do we help, how, where, and with whom? How do we bring praise to God for all of this?
Our GPS directs us to:
- Gather We come together to worship God and love and support one another.
- Prepare We learn and grow through Biblically-relevant teaching.
- Serve We love the city and the world through sacrificial service & multiplying mission.
May it be so.
In gratitude,
– Your FPC Stewardship & Finance Committee
