Giving

Giving to the Mission of GBCT

At Grace Bible Church of Tampa, we believe that giving is an act of worship; an expression of both gratitude for the gospel and trust in the Lord’s provision. Scripture reminds us to “honor the Lord from your wealth” (Proverbs 3:9), and to give “just as [we have] decided in [our] heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). Your faithful giving fowards the work of ministry locally and globally, equipping saints, reaching the lost, and exalting God in all things.

Why We Give

Giving is not just about finances; it’s about worship, obedience, and faithful investment in the work of God’s kingdom. At Grace Bible Church of Tampa, we believe that everything we have has been entrusted to us by the Lord, and we are called to steward His provision with care, wisdom, and accountability.

Your giving plays a vital role in the life and mission of this church. It supports the equipping of the saints through sound biblical education, intentional discipleship, and practical training for ministry. It fuels the evangelization of the lost, both in our local community and around the world, as we proclaim the gospel and support those who carry it to the nations. It strengthens the body of Christ through biblical counseling, fellowship, and care for those in need. And it enables the exaltation of God through faithful preaching, doctrinally sound worship, and a ministry rooted in truth.

As our church statement of faith affirms, “We contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.” Giving is one of the ways we participate in that shared mission; together, for the glory of Christ.

Ways to Give

At Grace Bible Church of Tampa, we want giving to be simple, intentional, and accessible. Whether you’re supporting the ministry from across the country or sitting in our sanctuary on Sunday, there are several ways you can contribute to the work God is doing through this local body.

Giving FAQs

  • Setting up recurring giving with RebelGive is easy and secure. When you visit our RebelGive giving page, simply select the amount you wish to give, choose your giving frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.), and enter your payment method. You’ll have the option to create a RebelGive account to manage your giving preferences going forward.

  • Yes, RebelGive allows for anonymous donations. If you do not wish to create an account or have your name attached to your gift, you can give as a guest without logging in. However, please note that anonymous giving means you won’t receive a year-end tax statement for that donation unless you choose to include your email and name for record-keeping purposes.

  • Absolutely. RebelGive uses industry-standard security protocols and encryption to ensure that your financial information is protected. Your payment details are never stored by the church or exposed during transactions. Additionally, RebelGive is designed specifically for churches and does not take a percentage of your donation—unlike other platforms—so your entire gift goes to ministry.

  • RebelGive does not charge the church a percentage of your donation. Instead, it uses a flat-rate annual fee paid by the church. However, if you give using a credit or debit card, a small processing fee (usually around 1.9%–2.2%) is included. This is known as a convenience fee, and you’ll be asked if you’d like to cover that cost as part of your donation. If you choose to give through your bank account (ACH transfer), there is a flat 25¢ for bank account (ACH) donations, so that your entire gift goes directly to ministry.

  • While Clover served us well for a time, it deducted around 3% from every donation. That meant the church received less than what was actually given. With RebelGive, we pay a single annual fee instead of losing a percentage on every transaction. This change helps us steward the church’s resources more faithfully and ensure that your full gift supports ministry.

  • Yes! RebelGive supports modern digital payment methods including Apple Pay and Google Pay, making it easy to give directly from your phone or mobile device with just a few taps.

  • Yes. If you give through RebelGive and include your name and email address, you will receive a year-end tax statement for all your contributions. Anonymous gifts, however, cannot be included in tax reporting.

  • Yes. On the RebelGive platform, you can choose which fund or ministry area you’d like to support (e.g., General Fund, Missions, Mortgage, etc.). If you don’t see a specific designation, feel free to reach out to the church to ask about current fund options.
