Helping Hands Ministries

The Heart and Hands of Christ

Helping Hands Ministries is the way Pintlala Baptist Church organizes and mobilizes its members in service to Christ. We pledge ourselves to worship God through our service, support our church financially, and help fulfill PBC’s Mission – To Be the Heart and Hands of Christ. If you would like to see the areas of service and sign up to help you can pick up a commitment brochure at the church. If you have questions, contact Margaret Dunn (334-281-4344).

Stewardship

Emphasis

Giving matters ….

Your gifts to our church really do matter. They matter in so many ways and to so many people.

Please take a moment, now, or in the near future to consider all the ways in which Pintlala Baptist Church matters to you and your loved ones. Have you made new friends, found a quiet sanctuary in your busy life, discovered answers or surfaced new questions? Have you found a community of support, joy or comfort?

Your contribution supports our clergy, our worship services, our ministries, and social events – everything that makes us a community. It supports all the ingredients that go into making this church a place for learning, for service, for worship… a place for solace and celebration. Your giving throughout the year supports our church as a place that matters to us, to Pintlala and even to communities throughout the world.

Everything comes at a price. Operating expenses never go away. They don’t wait for the economy to recover or for oil prices to drop. We need to continue to fully fund our budget to ensure that the church’s current level of wonderful ministries that we have all grown accustomed to can continue.

Your gifts are greatly appreciated!

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21)

Giving Matters

Giving, Growing, Grounded

Who is a steward?

Stewardship should be more than just material and money matters. Stewardship describes the basic orientation of life as a gift of God. Christians are called to serve the world through their unique gifts given to us all by God that extend beyond the boundaries of race, gender or wealth. Wise and generous use of these gifts is a way of learning how to live as servants of Christ and “stewards of the mysteries of God”. (1 Corinthians 4:1)

How can God call you to give?

Stewardship is a personal as well as communal practice. At Pintlala Baptist Church there are countless opportunities in which stewardship may work itself into your life.

· Teaching

· Volunteering for ministries and mission projects

· Being a role model

· Tithing

· Special gifts

· Presence at Sunday School and Worship

· Growth in faithfulness and spiritual practices.

This sampling of stewardship opportunities reflects a basic attitude of Christian stewardship – the care and nurture of our life together. The partnership with others who share a longing for God.

What will happen?

When you contribute your time, talent and resources, ministry happens. As you discover your gifts and affirm the gifts of others, God will be present in all we do. Because of individual giving, we are able to do far more together than any of us can do alone. To affirm and share in PBC’s ministry is to encourage one another to be generous. To be generous is to be a steward for the sake of Christ (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Community of Hope

Our mission is to meet physical needs of families from the River Region by fostering positive relationships through encouragement and prayer. The outcome builds trust and begin relationships that often lead to opportunities to share the gospel of Christ! Our desire is for them to know there is H.O.P.E. for every situation they face; and, it’s found in a relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior!

We are able to fulfill this mission through our:

Clothes Closet – including school uniforms
Food Pantry
Housewares / Furniture
Tutoring Ministry
Backyard Bible Clubs
Block Parties

* Please note that we are not able to provide financial assistance.

Members of the River Region are able to meet with us and access resources to meet their needs on Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We are closed every 5th Wednesday and holidays.

Those wishing to drop off their donations to the center can come on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. If you have a large donation and don’t have the means to deliver your items, please contact us and we will work with our volunteers to arrange pick up when available.

Medical Outreach

Pintlala Baptist Church partners with other Montgomery churches to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of our neighbors through the Medical Outreach Ministries Family Health Center located in Montgomery. We support them through many volunteers who give many hours a week to help staff the facility. We also give support through prayer and finances for this much needed ministry sponsored by the Baptist Medical Center.
