The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous—and often overlooked—area of our lives where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.

Online Giving

First Baptist Starkville’s online giving is a safe, fast, and reliable way to worship God through your giving. To make a one-time contribution or set up recurring giving, click the button below or tap the "Give" icon in the bottom right corner of your FBC Starkville App. Next, enter the amount you would like to give as your tithe and choose how often you want to contribute. Your tithe is automatically designated for the "General Budget," but if you want to give to a different area, you can make that selection from the Fund drop-down menu.

Text to Give

Giving is now as easy as sending a text. To try it out, send the word FBCStarkville plus the amount to (833) 418-8955.
