Where the mission dollars go.

When you give to Bell Shoals, you support gospel work across the globe through these initiatives.

Lottie Moon

The Southern Baptist Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goes directly to international missionaries across the globe through the work of the International Mission Board. Those who are supported receive 100 percent of the funds raised. Over 22,740 new churches have been started thanks to the generosity of those who gave.

Partnerships

Bell Shoals partners financially with seventeen faith-based missions organizations and missionaries who raise their own support. Through these ministries, you help meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people in the greater Tampa area and beyond.

Scholarships

Not only does your giving assist ministries outside of our church, it also supports our own actively engaged members. We provide financial aid to those from Bell Shoals who are going on mission locally, nationally, and internationally.

Annie Armstrong

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering supports mission efforts right here in North America through the ministry of the North American Mission Board. One hundred percent of the gifts received are used to train, equip, and send out thousands of missionaries across the United States and Canada.

church plants

In addition to aiding church planting efforts through the North American Mission Board, Bell Shoals also directly supports one church plant through your giving.

Special Projects

Your giving throughout the year allows Bell Shoals to take on additional special projects such as Feeding the Frontlines, supporting teachers in five local schools, and blessing missionary families. We thank you for being a giving church that makes these opportunities possible.

Bell Shoals Church supports missionaries and church planters through the North American Mission Board and International Mission Board. This support comes through your generous giving to Bell Shoals including Lottie Moon, Annie Armstrong, and the Cooperative Program.
