You can give by placing your gift in the offering plate as it passes during any of our Worship Services. Envelopes can always be found in the back of the pews and in the lobbies. Giving envelopes are also available through the mail.
Thank You for Giving
We encourage you to look at the options below and pray about how God might be calling you to take your next step in generosity.
Ways to Give
In Person
Online
People can give online and through the church’s mobile app via credit or debit card, Apple Pay, ACH bank transfer, and text-to-give. You can give one-time gifts or schedule recurring donations.
If you prefer, you can mail a check straight to us. The church’s address is:
First Baptist Church Powder Springs Attn: Finance Office 3721 New Macland Rd., Ste. 200-327 Powder Springs GA, 30127
Billpay
Depending on your bank, you can set up a tithe through their automatic billpay. This is similar to online payment, but an actual physical check is written from your bank and mailed to the church.

Why We Give
We believe in giving the tithe – ten percent of our income – as the biblical standard of giving. The tithe is to be given as an undesignated offering to the “storehouse” ministry of a local church. According to the Scriptures, we are to give cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of Christ’s cause on earth.
