GIVING IS WORSHIP
Giving is not a budget question but a heart question. Scripture is clear that we are to give within our means (2 Corinthians 8:12), and also to give in response to God's immeasurable gift to us of His Son (2 Corinthians 8:9). We are called, then, to be sacrificial in our giving, as God has been to us. Often this is not easy, and requires us to continually seek God's will for our finances and obey His leading.
In your own walk with God, as you determine your giving, we want you to know that we continually pursue transparency, accountability, integrity, and excellence in stewarding the resources entrusted to us.
Each year, with the input of our ministry leaders, metrics from present and past performance, and much prayer, we present a budget to the congregation for review, questions, and approval. The budget is a reflection of our mission to develop followers of Jesus Christ, and the plans we prepare to enact that mission.

Funds to Which You Can Give
As a non-denominational, independent Christian church, The Bible Chapel does not receive financial support from a governing entity. Your generosity is vital to maintaining and improving our standard of excellence in service to Jesus Christ. We are thankful to you. We have various funds to which you can give.
THE GENERAL FUNDS (ROBINSON, ROSTRAVER, SOUTH HILLS, WASHINGTON, AND WILKINSBURG CAMPUSES): The general funds are critical in the day-to-day operations and management of The Bible Chapel. Your gift to these funds directly impacts the campuses and enables us to minister to our members and attendees.
SPECIAL FUNDS: We maintain a few special funds to address unforeseen needs or special circumstances when they occur. For example, our Mercy Fund, managed by our Care Giving Ministry, extends short-term help to congregants in an extreme financial crisis.

The Endurance Foundation
The Endurance Foundation is an organization that uses planned giving principles to enable people in all stages of their lives to play a larger role in kingdom-building.
Through The Endurance Foundation, you can come alongside The Bible Chapel in our mission to develop followers of Jesus Christ, and contribute to this mission in significant and tangible ways that multiply over generations.
If you are ready to make a bigger impact for Christ, The Endurance Foundation can help make that happen. Planned giving enables you to ask yourself what kind of impact you want to make over your lifetime, rather than just over this year. Through planned giving, you can contribute to the church and its mission as part of your long-term financial planning.
Planned giving:
- Is not limited by your current assets
- Grows and increases its influence over time
- Focuses on causes you care about
- Can help you care for your family
- Expands to encompass emerging causes or needs
- Endures for decades or more
