Giving
Experience the joy of Generosity
"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."
As Christ Followers, we believe that we are stewards of God's resources and that He is the owner of all things. In scripture, we are reminded of the importance of generosity as an act of worship. We do this by giving at least one-tenth of all God has so generously given to us. Through this, we allow God's transformative power to work through us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Faith Forward
Faith Forward
Beginning March 2023 through September 2023, a special campaign called "Faith Forward" is underway in which we seek God to determine a financial gift beyond that of our regular 10% tithes.
Local Outreach
Local Outreach
Our mission is to always take strides to share the Gospel both locally and abroad and there are funds built into any gift to the general fund however by choosing Local Outreach, you, the donor can be certain that it will be used for a project within the immediate community. Types and scales of projects are determined based on the gifts received.
Over & Above
Over & Above
In some cases, you may wish to give more than your average tithe. While you most certainly can donate any extra to the general fund, this campaign acts as a future planning fund that allows us to think creatively on how to move the mission forward whether it be in the short or the long term.
Just as we obey the teaching of Jesus to faithfully provide for the mission of the church, we as a church do the same for all donations given to our "General Fund". While we also accomplish our own missional projects through this general fund, we also give back a tenth to organizations like the Atlanta Metro Baptist Association (AMBA) and the Georgia Baptist Mission Board (GBMB) which aid in programs like the Cooperative Program in their statewide, national and global efforts to reach the unsaved for Christ All others are designated and remain exclusively for the specificed purpose.
Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church is a 501(c)(3) organization. All gifts are tax-deductible.
