Collectively, these organizations represent more than $18 billion in annual revenue.
Generous Giving
The story of Generous Giving began in the 1990s when five friends came together, challenged by the question of what could happen if Christians were truly generous with their resources, living out the joy of giving instead of the duty of tithing. They talked with a handful of people who were already experiencing this joy and asked them to share with others how living in faith-driven generosity had brought extreme transformation to their hearts and lives. Our story is your story. The history of Generous Giving is written in the biographies of lives changed eternally. But it is an unfinished manuscript and a new page awaits ... the next chapter is yours to write.
It's a New Day
"It’s A New Day” is about stewardship! It’s about the lordship of Christ over everything in our lives! It’s about getting out of debt! It’s about being ready to fulfill God’s call upon our lives! The SBC Executive Committee is pleased to present this New National Stewardship initiative to Southern Baptists with faith and excitement for its potential. Imagine what churches could do for the kingdom if their members were not burdened with debt. Imagine what could be accomplished if church members were free to fulfill God’s call of ministry. There has never been a better time than NOW to experience true joy and liberty that comes through financial freedom!
