“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)

Tithing Is More Than Giving

The word "tithe" literally means tenth or 10%. Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, isn't merely giving something to God. It's an act of obedience and it’s giving back what was His to begin with. The Bible teaches tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. It teaches us to always put God first in our lives.

Offering Beyond the Tithe

An "offering" is anything you give beyond 10%. We support many missions and projects that help teach the Word of God and reach the lost. If you would like to make an “offering”, you can give additionally to the general budget, or you can make a designated gift to a specific project like these listed below:

OWOM

When you give to One World One Mission, you are giving to support our efforts in fulfilling the Great Commission of making disciples of all nations. One World One Mission helps fund our mission trips and local church planting partners as well as ministries here in Vernon Parish such as Beyond Our Walls, The Big Give, Helping Hands, VBA Benevolence, Dry Creek Baptist Camp and Gideons International.  

Next75

This is our capital giving campaign as we plan for the Next 75 years in the life of East Leesville Baptist Church

For every gift given to Next75...
50% will go towards paying off the principle of any outstanding debt.
10% will go to missions. (5% Cooperative Program and 5% OWOM)
40% will go to the Next75 Fund which is used to cover expenses related to long-range planning, property repairs & improvements, and other ministry opportunities as they arise.
