Why We Give
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." — Matthew 6:21
Biblical stewardship begins with recognizing that everything we have belongs to God. Our resources are gifts from Him, entrusted to us to manage faithfully for His glory.
We give not to earn God's favor, but in response to His grace. Through generosity, we worship Him, care for others, support the ministry of the local church, and participate in making the gospel known.
Stewardship is about more than money. It shapes how we use our time, abilities, possessions, and opportunities as we seek to honor God in every area of life.

Growing in Biblical Stewardship
Giving is one way we worship God and participate in His work. At Fellowship Bible Church, we desire to glorify God in every area of life, including how we use the resources He has entrusted to us.
GOD OWNS IT ALL
Everything we have comes from God. Faithful stewardship begins by recognizing Him as the owner and ourselves as managers of what He has entrusted to us.
GRACE MOTIVATES GENEROSITY
We respond to God's generosity toward us with grateful, willing hearts. Our giving is an expression of worship, not a way to earn His approval.
GENEROSITY SHAPES OUR HEARTS
Jesus teaches us that our treasures and our hearts are connected. As we learn to hold our resources loosely and trust God more fully, generosity becomes part of our growth as disciples.
WE STEWARD RESOURCES FOR GOD'S PURPOSES
God calls us to use what He has given us to serve others, build up His church, care for those in need, and make the gospel known.
