How Can I Help: Give

Thank you for your interest in supporting Fox Valley Baptist Association. Supporting one of the following areas will make it possible for FVBA to fund projects that are above and beyond our ministries funded by the North American Mission Board, Illinois Baptist State Convention, and the Churches affiliated with FVBA. We encourage you to financially support us by financially supporting your church.  If you desire to go above and beyond your tithes and offerings to your local church, consider the options below.

Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

Every dollar given to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (AAEO) for North American Missions goes to direct support of missionaries and their ministries. Learn more at www.anniearmstrong.com. Gifts to AAEO should be channeled through your church.

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

The International Mission Board uses 100 percent of Lottie Moon Christmas Offering funds to support your missionaries and their ministries. This allows your church to join in a strategic global effort to reach the whole world. It also enables your missionaries to spend their time reaching lost souls instead of raising their own support.

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering makes up 53 percent of the International Mission Board's total income and the Cooperative Program 35 percent.

Gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering should be channeled through your church.

Fox Valley Baptist Children’s Camp

FVBA Children’s Camp began only two years ago with its attendance growing each year. The children travel to Streator Baptist Camp every summer. FVBA Children’s Camp is about young people! Nestled in the heart of Illinois, FVBA children’s camp has become the highlight of the summer for the children and families of FVBA. What happens there is the work of God!  Young people make decisions for Christ at FVBA Children’s Camp. Since its origination two years ago, parents have seen their children come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and others have answered God’s call to full-time Christian service.

What is the purpose of Children’s Camp?

Children’s camp is a special place where children, youth, and adults come together to hear God's Word proclaimed and to respond to the Holy Spirit's call to salvation or to full-time vocational Christian service, and to commit to Christian living. Because of a ministry of teaching and training at FVBA children’s camp, Baptists are being better equipped to share their Christian witness with the world and to serve God through the ministries of their local church.

FVBA Disaster Relief

Fox Valley Baptist Association in cooperation with the North American Mission Board and the Illinois Baptist State Association leaders, has taken the lead in organizing Southern Baptists to respond to disasters. They contribute manpower, ministry, and financial help during floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, earthquakes, and urban disasters. FVBA uses Disaster Relief donations for meeting human needs as a priority. While the physical needs of those touched by disaster, FVBA is also committed to meeting the spiritual needs by sharing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Donations to this fund will be used for multiple disaster responses as needs arise.

Land Fund

FVBA land fund was first established in memory of Dr. Tom Adams who served as the FVBA DOM for many years. The population of Dekalb, Kane, and McHenry counties is more than 875,000 people. According to the North American Mission Board studies approximately 625,000 people of that number are lost without Christ. Currently, there are 21 churches and 2 missions in FVBA.

The land fund has two purposes:

1. the fund will be used to purchase land for a new church start 

2. the fund will be used for building a church for a FVBA church who previously has had no building.

The need for more churches is GREAT! You can help meet this need for more churches in one of three ways: 1.Take the initiative and start a church by contacting Dr. Mark Inman. 2. Make a donation of $1.00 per month to the land fund. 3. Pray for God to send forth laborers into the FVBA region.

On Missions Celebration

Every Church in FVBA will have the opportunity to host missionaries from the International Mission Board, North American Mission Board, and Illinois Baptist State Association. Gifts to this mission celebration can be channeled through your local church to provide lodging, travel expenses, meals, and honorariums for the missionaries, or simply make a donation below.

Mission Trips

Baptists have seen large increases each year in the numbers of short-term missions volunteers going overseas. Short-term volunteers have had such a positive impact on missions work overseas -- and on the churches sending them -- that FVBA has committed to a greater involvement to partially subsidize overseas missions trips to places such as Mexico and Africa, as well as U.S. cities such as Baltimore, Maryland who have need. . The contributions volunteers can make to this work will send teams to these areas in effort to bring the world to Christ. There is no doubt the Lord has used volunteers in special ways all around the world. You can make a donation to this World for Christ effort below:
