Giving

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

Matthew 6:21

Why We Give?

God is generous and so He calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are at and helps proclaim the Gospel. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives and that includes what we do with our finances. Here are some easy ways to support our church.

Give Online

Bill Pay

Use your bank's online tools to use "Bill Pay" to have your bank send your tithe or offering to Bethel. You can often make these recurring as well.

In Person

Prenumbered envelopes are available to organize regular giving. Offering given onsite may be placed in the black boxes located on the back wall of the sanctuary.

Checks

Please make checks payable to “Bethel Baptist Church.” Checks may be mailed to the church at 1196 N. Academy Street, Galesburg IL 61401.  

Non-Cash Giving Options  

Additional ways of donating to Bethel may have tax advantages. These include gifts of appreciated assets such as stocks or mutual funds, or a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from a traditional or Roth IRA; depending on the age of the donor, the latter may be able to be used to satisfy part or all of the required minimum distribution (RMD) without the distribution being included in the donor’s taxable income. Bethel Baptist Church is unable to offer legal or tax advice; please contact your personal financial advisor or tax accountant for further information.

Giving at Bethel

We believe Scripture teaches that giving the first 10%—a tithe—is a meaningful baseline for regular generosity. At times, we also invite our church family to participate in special offerings that go above and beyond regular giving. If you have additional questions, please contact us.
