What is my offering used for?

General Fund

All undesignated gifts go directly to our General Fund which covers our operating budget. This fund is allocated for utilities, insurances, maintenance, supplies, resources, and pastoral salaries. We also include missions, outreach events, fellowship and discipleship expenses in our general operating budget. This is the primary fund for the majority of our expenses, and it enables us to continue our ministry of making disciples.

Benevolence Fund

Our Benevolence Fund is restricted for assisting those experiencing financial hardship. These funds are provided as needed, with case-by-case evaluation, and as they are available. As Galatians says, we are to do good to everyone as we have opportunity, but especially to those in the household of faith. We prioritize the needs of our members and regular attenders, but we desire to bless our neighbors as opportunities arise.

If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact us to discuss benevolence assistance.

Building Fund

Our building was constructed in 1924, originally as the meeting place of First Baptist of Wissinoming. The Lord graciously provided this building for our church to use for just $1. Since we acquired the building we’ve made many upgrades and renovations, but we still have a list of major overhauls to be completed. Some of these projects include finishing our basement multi-purpose room, adding HVAC to our second floor, and making our parking lot and rear entrance ADA accessible. Any gifts designated for the Building Fund will be restricted for use in these projects and other property repairs and maintenance.
