The ministries of Berachah Bible Church are supported by the faithful giving of believers. Each year, the Elders in coordination with ministry leaders, plan and approve budgets for both General Operations and Grace Promise Missionary Support. The General Operations Budget takes into account both past giving and projected ministry growth. Because giving and spending patterns of our church may vary from month to month through the year, our church income and expenses may not always balance. The Grace Promise Missionary Support Budget is established each year by the anonymous GRACE PROMISE pledges from you to support our missions effort. Our World Missions Team then allocates these projected funds to support our missionaries and special missions projects. We give careful attention to ensuring that we operate our ministries within the resources the Lord provides through His people. As a faithful body of believers, we encourage believers to give cheerfully, faithfully, and regularly as the Lord provides to each according to his or her needs. We give knowing our offerings and gifts are used to support the Lords work both locally and abroad. We are thankful for Gods provision through the faithful, biblical giving of our members and supporters. Due to fluctuations in expenses, please be aware that it remains our goal to maintain sufficient reserve funds in both our church operating and Grace Promise accounts to meet temporary shortfalls should they occur. Your support and stewardship of our ministry resources is very much appreciated. If you have any questions about the finances of our church, please do not hesitate to contact one of our Elders or Deacons.
