Giving is a spiritual practice of amplifying God’s love, investing in community and justice so all may belong.
At Oak Lawn UMC, your giving allows us to:
Amplify God’s Love
God’s love is not meant to be hidden or kept to ourselves. As followers of Christ, we reflect God’s love through compassion, hospitality, forgiveness, and relationships that help every person know they are beloved.
“Dear friends, if God loved us this way, we also ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. If we love each other, God remains in us and his love is made perfect in us.” 1 John 4:11–12 (CEB)
At Oak Lawn UMC, your giving allows us to:
Stand Up for Justice
God calls the church to challenge systems that diminish human dignity and to work alongside those seeking freedom, equity, and belonging. Justice is an expression of our faith lived out in the world.
“Let justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like a never-failing stream!” Amos 5:24 (CEB)
At Oak Lawn UMC, your giving allows us to:
Serve our Neighbors
We encounter Christ by caring for one another. Through acts of compassion, generosity, and presence, we meet practical needs while honoring the sacred worth of every person.
“When you have a reception, invite those who are poor or have physical infirmities or are blind. You should be pleased that they can’t repay you, for you’ll be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” – Luke 14:13-14 (Inclusive)
