2025 Annual Stewardship
Generations
At First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor, we are blessed to witness the unfolding of God’s work across generations. From the wisdom of our elders to the energy of our youth, God is continually doing something new in and through us. Our annual fundraising campaign, Generations: God will do a new thing, invites you to be part of this ongoing story of faith, love, and transformation.
Honoring the Past
For generations, our church has been a beacon of hope, service, and spiritual growth. We honor the legacy of those who came before us—those whose faith and generosity built the foundation upon which we stand today. Their commitment to God’s work has shaped our community and empowered us to carry forward their vision.
Embracing the Present
Today, we are called to continue this legacy by investing in the ministries that nurture our faith and serve our neighbors. Whether through vibrant worship, life-changing mission work, or transformative educational programs, God is at work in our midst, calling us to respond with open hearts and hands.
Our church is thriving because of your dedication and generosity. With your support, we can sustain and expand the programs that touch lives, build community, and make a difference in our world.
Together, we can ensure that our church remains a place where people of all ages encounter God’s grace and are inspired to live out their faith.
One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.
-Psalm 145:4
Now to the One who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to God be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. -Ephesians 3:20-21
