Giving

One of the many privileges we have as Christians is to be able to serve the Lord in our giving. We honor God and express our faith in the simple act of obedience by the faithful giving of our tithe. The tithe represents the giving of one-tenth of your income as a gift to the Lord, as the Bible instructs in Malachi 3:10. In chapters eight and nine of 2 Corinthians, Scripture teaches that we are to give willingly, generously, and with a cheerful heart.

Your contribution goes to our church to support 17 main areas of ministry represented in the annual church budget. Approximately one-fourth of the annual budget funds missions locally, state-wide, nationally and around the world! Your faithful giving invests in and insures the many ongoing missions and ministries at FBC. You can request a church budget or financial statement anytime from the church office.

All contributions to FBC DeKalb are recorded, and contribution statements are available annually in January of the following year.

You may drop off your offering at the Church Office during the week, Monday-Thursday, 8:00 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. You may also deposit your offering in the two offering boxes in the church.  One is in the front foyer of the sanctuary.  The second offering box is by the exit doors in the foyer behind the piano. Blank envelopes are also available in the pews of the sanctuary.
