Who says worship is just on Sunday?
There are various forms of worship in which we honor God. One constant is that we should incorporate worship daily. One way we demonstrate worship is through song. Daily posts (Worship Beyond the Walls) are uploaded to the BGC FB & IG showing authentic worship by our members. JOIN US @baptistgrovenc

Historical Interview Video | |
|
With Christ at the forefront, we accomplished financial freedom. We took action to attain financial freedom which allowed us to contribute more to missions and ministry work! We ended 2023 with a whopping year end personal debt payoff amount over $2.4 million ($2,414,586.78). That was a reason to celebrate! THIS YEAR, we are continuing to pay off debts (let us know) but our new goal is MAXIMIZING YOUR MONEY. Let's be good stewards over what God has given us.
___________________________________________________________

IT'S LIKE SCHOLARSHIP MONEY! Free and you don't have to pay it back.
We are maximizing the money that God has put in our hands, a.k.a. being good stewards. What ways can you make your money multiply? Here are some ideas: Find a high interest savings account where you don't just get pennies on a dollar, look for matching programs for your contriubtions, etc. How creative can you be? Let's help each other by sharing our financial tips. Email [email protected]
p.s. Debt Pay-Off Cards are available online.
