Giving and Finances

Scripture uses the word "stewardship" to describe the way a Christian is to manage the wealth that has been provided to them by God. The word conveys both the importance of diligently administering what we have as well as the inherent fact that the ultimate owner of our resources is God. This responsibility applies not only to us as individuals, but also to the administration of finances of the Church.

The leadership of the Mackay Baptist Church believe in and have implemented controls to ensure that church finances are managed ethically and effectively for the glory of God and the fulfilment of our church mission. This includes submission to regular financial audits, the compliance with statutory regulations and the transparency of all financial information to church members. Church finances are administered in alignment with the church budget which is approved by the church membership at the Annual General Meeting and is expensed towards mission support, ministry support, pastoral, counselling and administrative staff, property and operational expenses.

Personal Giving

Mackay Baptist Church believes that it is a requirement that all Christians give towards the work of the church, but that our generosity should be grounded in our love and affection for our Lord Jesus and all that He has done for us, rather than out of compulsion - in accordance with 2 Corinthians 9:7.
