Giving Options
Ministries of Briarlake Church are supported by the contributions of attenders and members. The Bible teaches in Malachi 3 that we should each give at least a tithe—or 10 percent of our income—to support the work of the church. 2 Corinthians 9:7 teaches us everyone should give what they have decided in their heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. There are many ways that you can choose to contribute to Briarlake Baptist Church.

In Person
At all of our worship services you will have the opportunity to give your offering in person as a bucket or plate is passed. You can also bring your offering to the church office during regular business hours—Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m., Friday, 9:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m. If you need to mail your offering, please send it to Financial Office, 3715 Lavista Road, Decatur, GA 30033.
Envelopes
Quarterly all members are mailed individualized weekly giving envelopes. If you are not receiving them, or want to stop receiving these envelopes because you use another giving option, click here. Blank offering envelopes are available on the black table at Backlot and in the pew racks in Cornerstone and Chapel services. Be sure to write in your name in order to receive proper credit.
Automatic Bank Draft
One of the easiest ways many people have found to give their offering is through automatic bank draft (ACH). You can choose to have your offering paid out on the 2nd and/or 16th day of the month. In order to initiate this process, please return the automatic debit form with a voided check to the Finance Office. This will be processed as an automatic withdrawal from your checking account every month. Click here for the automatic debit form.
Online Giving
Another easy way to give your offering is to give online. You can make a one-time gift or set up a recurring gift using a credit card or a bank account. Click here to give your offering online.
