Give-Old – Alliance Bible Church – captivating generations with the satisfying gospel of Jesus Christ

Giving

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Luke 6:38 NIV

Give Now

We believe that God has entrusted us with resources for our own benefit as well as the benefit of others. Giving out of the overflow of a grateful heart honors the Lord, helps us experience joy, and advances the gospel. Thank you for partnering with us to captivate generations with the satisfying gospel of Jesus Christ.

When you give to “Church Ministries,” it supports the functioning of all of our ministries at Alliance and our local community outreach. We also have 5 additional giving options:

Missions Giving: Please know that you can contribute directly to our global missions efforts by selecting the “Missions Fund” option. Please see our missions page to learn more.

Benevolence: When you select the “Benevolence Fund” option you are contributing to a ministry aimed at helping people in our communities who are going through challenging times.

Revitalize Giving: You can contribute directly to our Revitalize project (expanded seating, upgrading our sound and lighting systems, and a general “refresh” of the Worship Center) by selecting the “Revitalize Fund” option.

TSU: Your contribution towards “TSU” helps fund the downtown Cedarburg location which has been a long term dream turned into a reality. The Student Union offers students free tutoring, opportunities to develop life skills, is a gathering place, and an opportunity for teens to have a “taste of the gospel” through relationship building.

Brinkman Adventures: The Brinkman Adventures Fund provides financial resources to a unique radio ministry launched by Alliance Bible Church. Brinkman Adventures is “dedicated to inspiring, motivating and facilitating the next generation of Christian world changers.” Contributions to this fund are used to produce additional seasons of episodes which have a world wide impact.

There are also other unique opportunities such as Planned Giving and Stocking Giving which are described below.

Planned Giving: You can leave a financial legacy for Alliance Bible Church through planned gifts. We have partnered with Orchard Alliance who will work with you directly and help you set up planned giving. If you have any questions or would like to speak to our administrative pastor on staff, please contact our Associate Pastor of Administration, David Wiley. Click HERE for more details.

Stock Giving: Please be aware that you can contribute a gift of stock directly to the church. Contact David Wiley, the Associate Pastor of Administration

Membership

Membership is a spiritual, public commitment to worship, grow and serve at our particular Church. We hope that you will get acquainted with our church and, most importantly, Jesus Christ.

Although you are welcome to attend without obligation, we encourage you to learn about us and the Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA). At Alliance Bible Church, we encourage a firm commitment to the local church. Christ was so committed to the church that He gave His life for it, and then directed His apostles to establish local assemblies of believers everywhere.

The first step in becoming a member is attendance at our Membership Matters Class. This is held several times per year, and is an overview of the basic truths of Christianity and the unique ministries of our church.

The second step is to indicate your desire for membership by filling out and submitting an application form for prospective membership.

The third step is to meet with our leadership (Elders) privately to give a personal testimony of faith in Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

The fourth step in becoming a member occurs at a worship service when we publicly extend the right hand of fellowship to those who have met the preceding requirements.

Membership is viewed as a covenant of commitment to God and His people in this local body of believers.

We would be happy to further explain the organization of Alliance Bible Church and expectations for membership. For more information, please see a Pastor or an Elder.

Water Baptism

Water baptism is as an outward expression of inward faith. Water baptism expresses our identity in Christ. However, like a logo to a ball team, it does not determine that identity.

We schedule water baptisms a few times a year. Spiritual and practical preparation is available through the Baptism Orientation Class which is conducted a week or two prior to the baptismal service. The class is for those desiring to know more about the Scripture’s teaching on baptism and/or for those desiring to be baptized. Once a baptism is scheduled, the congregation is notified via the ABC eNews (a church wide email), and the church bulletin.

For more information on water baptism, see the Christian and Missionary Alliance information link.
