Why We Give

The Heart Behind Our Joyful Giving

At the heart of our joyful giving is a desire to honor God and participate in His work. We give not out of obligation, but out of gratitude for all that He has done for us, recognizing that every resource we have ultimately comes from Him. Our generosity enables the church to reach our community and the world with the Gospel, support ministries that meet practical needs, and provide for the growth and care of every member. By giving joyfully and faithfully, we reflect the love of Christ, strengthen the body of believers, and experience the blessing that comes from partnering with God in His mission.

Ways to Give

Discover the many ways to give, whether online, in person, or through planned giving, so you can joyfully support the mission and ministries of our church.

First Baptist Church of San Marcos (FBCSM) has online giving available to those who prefer the ease of it. FBCSM offers online giving only as a convenience and not as a way to circumvent sound biblical money management principles or in any way to incur debt. FBCSM aims to create a culture that is wise in resources and generous in faith. We are committed to outreach and believe in supporting the local church through tithes and offerings.

Every Sunday, instead of passing an offering plate, there is a secure drop box for giving near the entry of the sanctuary. You can pick up a giving envelope from the welcome desk if you would like to specifically designate your offering. You are also welcome to bring your offering to our church office throughout the week.

You are welcome to send your donation in by mail. If so please use with the following address:
