Capital Campaign
As you prayerfully consider what God has called us to do as a church, we hope you understand it can’t be accomplished without prayerfully considering what God is asking you to do. See how God is not only leading you to give, but to be involved with FBC on a greater scale. Be a part of our story, the continuing story of FBC Russellville by:
• Proclaiming the Gospel to a lost and dying world through missional opportunities
• Serving the local body through Awana, youth/collegiate/children’s activities, VBS, Horseback Ministry, etc.
• Helping build our community of believers by being involved in a Life Group
• Leaving a legacy of faith by ensuring the Gospel continues to be preached today and in the future by participating in the Genesis project
Giving over and above
The Capital Stewardship Campaign relies on every church member to make gifts “over and above” their current level of giving. FBC Russellville has a history of giving generously to the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions, and we are committed to keeping this first as we move forward; therefore, gifts must be above and beyond the norm.
Lifestyle Stewardship
The best way to increase your giving is to celebrate its spiritual implications and to continually seek to be heavenly-minded rather than earthly-focused. This can be defined as “Lifestyle Stewardship,” a term that describes giving and sacrificing in a way that affects one’s living. The challenge with Lifestyle Stewardship is to find ways, boldly and prayerfully, to let our giving touch our living.
We can only accomplish the task before us by trusting in God’s word and the Gospel. Paul declared in Ephesians, “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21).
Often, Lifestyle Stewardship means giving up something in one area so that you can give more of yourself in another. The three keys to effectiveness in Lifestyle Stewardship are:
• Reassessing lifestyle
• Rearranging priorities
• Reallocating resources
