First Baptist Gainesville believes stewardship is an integral aspect of our spiritual formation and commitment to sacred partnership (membership). While our stewardship takes many forms, giving financially through our church is a primary way to participate with God in our Kingdom mission.
Ministry Budget Offering
Our weekly Ministry offering supports the budget for the entire work of our church: missions, worship, discipleship, ministries, personnel, maintenance and facilities. We annually vote on this budget to guide our spending. We invite all sacred partners (members) to give generously to this offering monthly.
Giving Options
- Annual Offering Envelopes: Each January (or at point of membership), sacred partners receive a box of monthly offering envelopes. Use these envelopes to give gifts to the church either in a Bible Study class or in worship.
