About Giving

Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived.

Jesus gave His life so that we might live. As Christians, we give our time, talent, and money joyfully in response to Jesus’ generosity and to help more people meet Jesus. Thank you for your gifts which impact lives.

Our online giving system allows you make a one-time or recurring gift through either your bank account via an Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction or your credit/debit card.  Both options have a small processing fee required by all banks. ACH gifts allow more of your money to go towards ministry since the fee is only 25¢ per transaction. The fee for credit/debit card gifts is currently 30¢ plus 2.15% of the total amount given.

Additionally, you have the ability to give via your phone by texting any dollar amount to 84321.

Other Ways to Give

• Cash & Checks are a very common way donations are received by First Baptist Church. Our church sends out giving statements periodically throughout the year to ensure we are properly recording any gifts you have given.
• Year-end Gifts to support our ministry are given by some individuals. Because all gifts to the church are subject to IRS deadlines, please remember that all year-end gifts must be received in the church office before midnight on December 31, or must be postmarked before the end of December to be deducted in the present tax year. Any gifts received after December 31 and not postmarked in December will be included in the next tax year. The date written on a check will not determine in which tax year a gift is included. Only the actual date of receipt by the church or the postmark will establish the correct tax year for the IRS.
• Legacy/Estate Gifts are a powerful way to leave a legacy by remembering First Baptist Church in your will. The administrative office would be happy to assist your attorney in setting up an Estate Gift.
