Generosity at YPPC
Give to support the work.
Your gifts fund everything from Sunday worship to the food pantry on Tuesdays, the youth mission trip in the summer, and the small steady things that keep YPPC a place where neighbors are welcomed and the hungry are fed.
Whatever you give, we're grateful — for the gift and for the trust behind it.
From the pastor
A note on giving from Rev. Smith
Most of what makes YPPC YPPC doesn't show up on a budget line — the casserole left on a doorstep, the prayer whispered for a stranger, the third cup of coffee that turns a Sunday morning into a conversation. None of that costs anything but love.
And yet — the building has lights, the food pantry has shelves, the bulletins get printed, and the staff who hold all of it together get paid. The visible work depends on the invisible generosity of this congregation.
Whatever you give, give freely. Every gift, no matter the size, matters. The widow's two coins are still on Jesus's mind two thousand years later for a reason.
— In Christ, Rev. Cameron Smith

Questions
Things people often ask
- How is my gift used?
- Gifts support YPPC's general fund — covering worship, ministry programs, pastoral care, building upkeep, the food pantry, our partnerships with Mission on the Move and Hands of Christ, and the everyday work of being a church. You can also give to a specific fund if you'd like; see the dropdown in the online form.
- Can I set up recurring giving?
- Yes — the online form lets you set up weekly, monthly, or other recurring schedules. It's the easiest way to support YPPC consistently throughout the year, and you can change or cancel it any time from your account.
- Is my gift tax-deductible?
- Yes. Yeamans Park Presbyterian Church is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You'll get an email receipt right away, and we send a year-end statement each January summarizing the prior year's gifts for tax purposes.
- I'd like to give in honor or memory of someone.
- There's a memo field on the online form where you can note who the gift is in honor or memory of — we'll acknowledge the family if you provide their contact information separately. The church office can also help with memorial-fund gifts directly: contact us.
- What about stock, IRA distributions, or planned giving?
- For appreciated stock, qualified charitable distributions from an IRA, or planned giving (bequests, beneficiary designations), please contact the church office. Our treasurer can walk you through the process and connect you with the right paperwork.
- I have other questions.
- Reach out anytime — office@yppc.org or (843) 744-2268. The treasurer can answer the financial-mechanics questions; the pastor can talk through the stewardship side.
