Giving is simply a body of believers funding the mission of God. By giving, you are partnering with other believers at IABC to work towards our church goals of Glorifying God, Growing Believers, and Reaching People.

Why should I give?

Giving is one aspect in how we can worship God and reflect His generosity in our lives. Giving is also an act of obedience to God by stewarding our resources in a way that aligns with His Word. We want to remember and live out the words of Jesus, when He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).
