Why Give to Open Bible Baptist Church

​

At Open Bible Baptist Church in Valdosta, GA, we believe giving is a biblical act of worship, obedience, and partnership in God’s work. Your generosity fuels our mission to spread the Gospel, serve our community, and support global missions, all rooted in the truth of God’s Word (KJV). Here’s why giving, including tithing, is vital:

​

Tithing: A Timeless Command

Tithing—giving 10% of your income to the local church—remains a biblical mandate, not abolished in the New Testament. It honors God as the source of all provision and supports the church’s ministry. As Malachi 3:10 (KJV) declares, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Tithing is an act of faith, trusting God to bless obedience, and it sustains our Valdosta ministries, including Sunday School, Missions, Spanish Ministry, etc.

​

Giving: Advancing God’s Kingdom

Beyond tithing, freewill offerings reflect a cheerful heart and commitment to Christ’s work. II Corinthians 9:7 (KJV) says, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” Your gifts enable Open Bible Baptist Church to preach salvation by grace (Ephesians 2:8-9), maintain biblical separation (II Corinthians 6:14-17), and equip believers through preaching, teaching, and community outreach in Valdosta, GA.

 

Supporting Missions Work

Open Bible Baptist Church is deeply committed to missions, sending support to spread the Gospel worldwide. Your giving fuels this work, fulfilling the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV): “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” From missionaries planting churches to translating the Bible, your generosity extends our reach beyond Valdosta to the ends of the earth.

​
