Our ministry at Braddock Street Church is supported entirely by members of our church family. We encourage all our members to give a percentage of their income, striving toward the Biblical model of tithing or returning to God 10% of everything we make. Numbers 18:21-26; Deuteronomy 14:22; 2 Chronicles 31:5-6; Nehemiah 10:38; Malachi 3:10; Matthew 23:23 are Scripture passages related to tithing. Regular giving makes us generous people and is a spiritual discipline, reminding us that all we have is a gift from God. 

Ways to Give:

• In person or by mail

• Online Giving Use our online portal to set up one time or recurring donations by credit card or ACH.   https://bsumc.churchtrac.com/give

• Direct Charitable Gifts from your IRA or Donor Advised Fund.

• Qualified Charitable Distribution allows a person who is 70 ½ or older to donate up to $108,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). Not only does Braddock Street Church benefit from the funds, the individual benefits by not having to pay taxes on the RMD.
