At FBCG, we believe that everyone has a place. No matter who you are or where you are on your journey, you are fully known and fully loved. As an inclusive and affirming space, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels like they belong. We do our best to partner with organizations who hold those same values.
Your generous giving allows and empowers us to be a place of hope and love and connection in our community.
Here’s what you are giving to…
General Fund
The general fund is the core of all we do here at FBCG, it includes everything from keeping the lights on to supporting local and international missions. The general fund pays our staff and it also helps us create inviting spaces for the community groups who use our facility. The general fund enables our gatherings and groups and also nurtures our partnerships within our local community.
Youth Subsidy Fund
The youth subsidy fund helps send kids to camp. Whether it’s a day camp or a week at camp Hermosa, we all know the lifelong impact that a camp experience can have. The youth fund exists to subsidize those who might not otherwise be able to attend camp or spend a summer being a leader at one. It’s our way of investing in the next generation of church and community leaders.
Benevolent Fund
The word benevolent means…kind, helpful, having a desire to do good, giving to those who are in need. Our benevolent fund exists for two reasons…to help those in our larger community in times of need and crisis. We usually do this through strategic partnerships with local organizations. It is also for helping those in our own church family who are in need.
Giving Tree
The giving tree is a yearly fundraiser that happens during the Christmas season. We support Camp Hermosa, CBM (Canadian Baptist Ministries) and a local organization who is meeting needs and making an impact in our community.
