First Baptist Church
Partnership Missions Giving Plans

As part of the worldwide family of God, our church recognizes that we can do more by joining with other Christians than we can do alone. Therefore, a portion (10%) of all unrestricted gifts to the Church Budget is earmarked to support mission endeavors across our city, state, nation and around the world. (In fact, First Baptist people support mission efforts that far exceed the 10% portion of our church budget that is designated for distribution through denominational channels. Read more...)

As a contributor to First Baptist Church, you may choose from four methods of funding Baptist ministries beyond our church. You may indicate your choice by completing the online form or by calling Ann Moorefield in the Finance Office (358-5458 ext. 124).

The table below indicates the percentages by which Partnership Missions Giving funds are distributed within each Plan.

If you do not indicate a preference, the Partnership Missions Giving portion of your offering will be channeled according to the Shared Partnership Plan.
