God Loves a Cheerful Giver

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)

Giving of tithes and offerings to First Baptist Church Monticello can be done in several ways:

Online Giving

Through the links above you can give a one-time gift or set up future or recurring gifts. Once you have a Realm account you can manage or change recurring gifts and payment information. Please note, your email address for your Realm account will need to match the email address we have on file for you at the church. You may contact the Church Office to update this information.

If you desire, as a symbolic act of worship, you may place an empty offering envelope in the plate during any worship service and simply write on the front of the envelope “Gave Online” when you use the online giving option. Please do not write an amount on the envelope if you give online.
