“for we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NRSV)

At Topsail Presbyterian Church, we give thanks for the many ways God is at work in our congregation and community. As we grow in faith together, we recognize that everything we have—our time, our abilities, and our resources—is a gift from God. Stewardship is our faithful response to these blessings, lived out through generosity, service, and heartfelt commitment to God’s mission.

Stewardship is more than giving—it’s a way of living. It includes our contributions of time, talents, financial resources, love, and hard work. At its heart, stewardship is a faithful response to God’s blessings and a reflection of our relationship with Him.  At Topsail Presbyterian Church, we believe stewardship is the outward expression of our inner commitment to God.

Topsail Presbyterian Church participates in a number of special offerings as a way to live out our call to serve others in Christ’s name. 

Locally, we support the Presbyterians’ Answer to Hunger (PATH) offering as a simple but powerful way to fight hunger. Members set aside a small gift—such as five cents per meal—and bring it on the second Sunday of each month. A portion of this offering stays in Hampstead to support the 4C’s Food Pantry, while the rest helps provide meals, support sustainable agriculture, and fund nutrition and self-sufficiency programs. PATH links our daily bread to the needs of others, reminding us of Christ’s call to share so that all may be fed.

The Special Offerings of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) are four powerful, church-wide giving initiatives that unite congregations in responding to God’s grace through compassionate action. These offerings— One Great Hour of Sharing, Pentecost Offering, Peace & Global Witness Offering, and Christmas Joy Offering —reflect key seasons in the church year and support ministries of disaster relief, hunger alleviation, Christian formation, peacemaking, and leadership development. They represent the largest way Presbyterians collectively embody their faith by lifting up the most vulnerable and advancing reconciliation, justice, and global witness.  These offerings connect our congregation with the broader mission of the Church, allowing us to extend our focus beyond our own walls and join with Presbyterians everywhere in making a difference both locally and globally.
