You can give to the church by making an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and using the secure E-give page to enter your information. It is perfectly safe and secure, and it is easier than writing a check. You can set up an automatic EFT on a one-time, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

Bellevue strongly teaches that living debt-free is a worthy goal for all Christians. We offer online giving only as a convenience and not as a way to circumvent sound Biblical money management principles or to in any way incur debt. Users of online giving are responsible for setting up and controlling their online giving options. They can designate where their giving goes (budget [tithe], Love Offering, missions, etc.) and the frequency in which they give. Online giving is secure and tax deductible. Online giving allows you to set up your giving using an automatic bank draft to your account. Credit cards are not permitted.

Proverbs 3:9 says, “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.…”

Jesus taught that our money is an indicator of our hearts, and Paul taught that if we are loved by God and love Him in return, then we will give cheerfully, sacrificially, and regularly.

The Bible teaches that God is the Owner of everything, including our money and possessions. When we give, we give back to God what He already owns. Our giving is an indication of trust, discipleship, and commitment. We believe that the minimum biblical standard for giving is 10%, commonly called a “tithe.”

Bro. Steve leads an annual sermon series that is designed to teach and encourage biblical stewardship and lead people to commit both to tithing and to giving beyond the tithe. The church also offers classes on biblical money management. These classes provide in-depth studies of what God’s Word teaches about money. They also help in teaching money management principles both scripturally and practically. Jesus Christ had more to say about money than almost any other subject in the Bible.

Bellevue Baptist Church prepares and adopts an annual budget. This budget is carefully prepared with detailed planning that spans many months. The budget is an operating tool that guides our church in ministry, missions, and operations. It is important that every member and attendee understand their God-given role in supporting the financial needs of the church through systematic giving (tithing) to the church. Giving envelopes are mailed to each church family monthly and provided in the Worship Center.

It saves time! It saves work! It simplifies your life! You can avoid the hassle of writing and remembering checks! It can also help your consistency and faithfulness in giving.

Your contribution was started when you clicked the “Submit” button. However, the exact transaction date will be dependent on the availability of funds in your bank account. Please monitor your bank activity for the actual date of the draft.

Since your contribution is made at a pre-established time, you simply record it in your check register on the appropriate date.

Your bank statement gives you an itemized list of electronic transfers. It is your proof of contribution. The church will also record your gift and send you a record of your contributions each January for your tax records.

You can update your profile and banking information for recurring giving at any time by clicking here.

Online giving is less risky than handwritten checks. Your offering cannot be lost, stolen, or destroyed in the mail. It has an extremely high rate of accuracy and is also easier for the church accounting office to process.

It costs you nothing and saves you time. The fee to the church is nominal.

Once you submit the EFT transfer, your specified contribution will begin an electronic transfer directly from your account to the church’s account. Options include a one-time, weekly, or monthly transaction. However, the exact transaction date will be dependent on the availability of funds in your account.

You can cancel your online recurring giving at any time. But once you’ve enjoyed the convenience, time, and money savings of online giving, we doubt you will want to go back to making contributions the way you did before.
