Pray and Give

Posted on March 20, 2020April 15, 2020 by Brian Wells

Our work as First Baptist Jennings is alive and well. While the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic is affecting our lives, the Lord is using this threatening force to open doors for us to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others through creative ways. While communities, cities and even countries are slowing to a standstill, the Lord still reigns in all of His power and glory. Continue to PRAY.

We Praise the Lord for the church’s giving pattern over the last several months. As we find ourselves practicing being the “CHURCH” in new creative ways without assembling as the large congregation, here is how you can continue to exercise your giving.
1. You can give electronically by:
https://fbcjennings.com/giving
Click “Give Now” Choose Bank, Debit / Credit Card
Fill in the appropriate fields of information. If you choose direct payment from your bank account, the Bank will verify & email you instructions to confirm it is you. The Bank will send a code to your cell phone.

2. Text any amount to 84321

3. Mail: First Baptist Church Jennings
1001 Cary Ave.
Jennings, Louisiana 70546

4. Drop By: The church will be open Monday thru Friday
and if you are running errands and want to drop off
your giving / tithe, stop by.

If you need anything please don’t hesitate to send us a message.
