We attempt to send a welcome letter to every church leader beginning a new assignment in Alabama Baptist life. It’s our way of saying: we know transitions are full, and we want you to know who we are before you need us. If your church already works with us, you may hear from us through existing relationships. If not, we hope you’ll find value in learning how we can partner. We work with churches and ministries of all sizes and needs.
Several of the services below help churches access more resources for more ministry — whether through investment of excess resources, ministry grants, church member generosity during life, or planned giving through estates. The right starting point depends on the question you’re trying to answer.
Legacy Ministry — A turnkey program that helps your church teach legacy giving. An opportunity to foster giving in your church through more than the tithe.
Legacy Planning — One-on-one Biblical estate planning for individual members. Helping your members create estate plans that continue to support ministries long after their lifetime.
Online Giving — A platform for receiving online gifts. Our simple online giving service making it easy for church members to give online.
Church Loans — Cost-efficient, hassle-free lending designed for churches where the interest is reinvested in Kingdom causes.
Vision Campaigns — A comprehensive discipleship tool that unleashes generosity in your church. Secure sustainable funding to expand your church and reach more people.
Ministry Accounting — Full-service bookkeeping, payroll, and financial reporting built specifically for churches and ministries. Many churches transition to us when their volunteer treasurer steps back or their staff financial role changes.
Kingdom Impact Investing — Biblically responsible investment management for church funds, ministry endowments, and individual accounts — screened against industries that conflict with Christian values and adds in companies that attempt to see kingdom growth.
Generous Giving — Tax-aware, Biblically grounded strategies that give members access to a range of options that turn resources God has entrusted into greater Kingdom work.
Ministry Grants — TBFA awards modest grants to Alabama Baptist churches and ministries for evangelism and community outreach. We know these endeavors can be expensive, so we want to help.
Scholarships — TBFA manages 100+ scholarship funds designated for students of all kinds in Alabama. We can point you and your members to what’s available.
The Baptist Foundation of Alabama is an entity of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, supported through the Cooperative Program. We’ve served Alabama Baptists since 1940 and currently steward more than $400 million in assets on behalf of churches, ministries, and individuals around the state and distribute tens of millions of dollars each year to further Kingdom work.
We exist for one reason: more resources for more ministry.
