Let’s Impact The Community
We believe in the Biblical principle of tithing. In Malachi 3:10 (NLT), the Bible talks about bringing the first 10% (tithe) of your income into the storehouse (church). Tithes and Offerings received at the Southern Missionary Baptist Church fund the vision and activities of our church.
