Online Giving
Tithe/Offering
Pledges and offerings go to the General Operating Budget to cover the week-to-week operating costs of keeping our church doors open and programs flourishing, including but not limited to salaries, utilities, and property maintenance.
Mission
Pledges and donations designated for Missions are budgeted annually to institutions and programs the congregation chooses to support, including American Baptist Churches Mission Basics, designated missionary, ABC's Camp Wightman, Habitat for Humanity, One Great Hour of Sharing, our Prayer Shawl Ministry, and more.
Memorial
When PBBC is designated as the beneficiary of gifts, usually upon the death of a loved one, the donated monies go to the Memorial Fund. Unless the gift is designated by the donor for a specific purpose, it is used according to guidelines in the Bylaws with approval by congregation and oversight by the Council.
Capital Fund
The Capital Fund contributes to projects above and beyond routine, budgeted maintenance of PBBC's buildings and property. Since 2022 we have repaved the parking lot; replaced low-functioning, energy-inefficient windows in parsonage and rental home; remediated the church building electrical system to bring it up to code; replaced exterior pedestrian doors; and prepped/painted exterior of the rental home. Donations are being used to 'close the gap' in repaying the loan we received from American Baptist Churches of Connecticut.
