Giving

At Whitsunday Baptist Church, we believe giving is an act of worship and gratitude to God. Your generous tithes and offerings help us continue our ministry, support outreach, and care for those in need. You can give in one of two simple ways:
  • During our Sunday service – place your offering in the basket as it’s passed around.
  • Via direct debit (anytime) – using the details below:

Thank you for your faithfulness and generosity in partnering with us to share the love of Christ in the Whitsundays.
