Welcome to the Baptist Foundation of Alabama’s website. We hope you find this site helpful in providing useful stewardship, estate planning, and planned giving information. The Baptist Foundation of Alabama was formed in 1940 to serve as the trust agency for the Alabama Baptist Convention. As you plan your estate according to Godly principles or if your church decides to add this important avenue of stewardship training to the church's educational ministry, please feel free to give us a call or email tbfa@tbfa.org.

  The Kingdom Stewardship AllianceTM, a ministry of The Baptist Foundation of Alabama, announces a new 4-session Bible Study titled "Stewarding Your Stuff." This Bible study fills a void in the ministry of stewardship in the local church. Traditionally, the focus is on current giving of tithes and offerings as the whole message of stewardship.

However, Scripture clearly teaches that we are to be stewards of our estate as well. This holds true whether all or part of your estate passes to heirs. If we believe that God owns everything, then how we plan our estate is perhaps the single largest act of financial stewardship any of us will ever undertake.  

According to Fred Smith of The Gathering, 96% of giving through the local church comes from our income or cash. Yet, cash or income represents only 9% our ability to give. The largest potential for giving comes, not from current income, but from our non-cash assets such as real estate, stocks, bonds, insurance policies, etc.  God's people create kingdom legacy gifts when they understand this is a part of Christian stewardship and see how proper planning allows for taking care of both family and faith.   Email the Office of Development or call 334-394-2001 for details.
