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.

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.

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.
