Belmont Baptist Faith Promise World Missions Fund is the primary financial means by which our church leads people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ around the world. It is provided by your special gifts, over and above the general church budget. Your tithe should go in Belmont's Tithes and Offerings envelope and your Faith Promise gift should go in Belmont's Special Designated Offerings under the Faith Promise - World Missions category. Any checks made out to Belmont Baptist Church and designated "World Missions" placed in the offering will be applied to the Faith Promise Fund.

Belmont supports over 60 missionaries representing over 200 people around the world. These missionaries live by faith that a portion of their salary will be provided by your Faith Promise gifts.
