Your Giving Makes a Difference

In 2025, this is how your giving made an impact:


  • We welcomed a new member to our church family, celebrated an ordination attended by over 325 worshipers, dedicated two children to the Lord, and honored six graduates on Youth Sunday.
  • We invested in our Open Hands Food Sharing Ministry, serving an average of 50 families each Saturday, residents of a local housing complex twice weekly, and the Providence Rescue Mission. We are shooting to serve even more families in 2026.
  • We distributed 60 Thanksgiving bags with food and gift certificates to families in need.
  • We provided Christmas gifts to 33 children from more than a dozen families through our Angel Tree Ministry for children of incarcerated parents.
  • We sent a 10-member mission team to Honduras, including 4 teenagers, who built picnic tables, set up nearly 50 bunk beds, worked on construction projects, helped with Vacation Bible School, and participated in baptisms.
  • We raised over $12,000 through Faith Promise giving toward audiovisual equipment for a hospital chapel in Kenya.
  • We helped numerous people in financial need through our Caring Hands Fund, which disbursed nearly $15,000 to assist with rent, taxes, emergency relief, utility bills, food, and other essentials.
  • We saw our Elevate Youth Group grow from about a dozen students to 25-35 weekly, with over 70 attending the Christmas party, led by student leaders who stepped up after a difficult transition and supported by a small, but mighty team of adults.
  • We served over 160 campers across 5 weeks at Camp Cedarwood, with nearly 30 campers receiving scholarship assistance and hundreds of food items donated weekly to Open Hands through camper contests.
  • We replaced the 35-year-old church roof, protecting our facilities for years to come.
  • We received an unexpected estate gift of over $71,000 from a woman who attended BBC decades ago... a testimony to the lasting impact of faithful ministry.
  • We continued our Prayer+Care Ministry and Wednesday Prayer Zoom, ensuring no one slips through the cracks when they need prayer, care, or connection to the Body of Christ.


When you give to BBC, you provide for impact and influence at every level. You help ensure that the Grace and Truth of Jesus is known in Barrington and around the world. Thank you!

Grow in Generosity

What is your next step when it comes to giving?


If you aren't currently giving, your next step may be to start giving some portion of your income. If you currently fall short of giving a full tithe (10%), your next step may be to start tithing. Perhaps you are already tithing; your next step may be to imitate Jesus by becoming an extravagant giver, releasing resources sacrificially as God leads.


Giving as Worship


At its heart, giving isn't fundraising; it's worship. Everything we have already belongs to God. He invites us to participate by stirring our hearts to release his resources for his work.


The standard for giving under the Old Testament law was the tithe. Each person was expected to give the first 10% of his income, as well as his livestock and crops (Leviticus 27:30-33; Malachi 3:8). People were obligated to tithe under the law of Moses. This changed because Jesus satisfied all of the requirements of the law through His sacrifice (Matthew 5:17). While we're no longer under obligation to the Mosaic tithe, the New Testament calls us to something potentially more demanding, giving that flows from transformed hearts and reflects the generosity of Christ himself.


How Should We Give?


Several verses in the New Testament suggest guidelines for our giving. We should give regularly (1 Corinthians 16:2), privately (Matthew 6:3-4), proportionately (2 Corinthians 8:11-13), generously (2 Corinthians 9:6), and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7-8).


We don't want anyone to give out of guilt or obligation. We want people to give out of worship, not pressure, in response to the God who gives us everything (Philippians 4:19).


Why Does Our Attitude Matter?


Our attitude in giving is just as important as the amount we give. Generosity isn't measured by a dollar amount but by a surrendered heart (Luke 21:1-4). Through our giving we demonstrate our dependence on and trust in the Lord. We express our reliance on Him to meet our needs, instead of trusting ourselves or our earnings.


As we grow in spiritual maturity, God cultivates hearts of surrender in every area of our lives (2 Corinthians 8:3-5). Giving generously is the natural outworking of following Jesus.
