We desire to be generous
because He is generous with us.
We desire to be generous, because generosity is the way of those who call Christ their Lord. We believe generosity is a distinct trait of believers in Christ, and Scripture points to this! Our hope at CBC is that through our generous giving, we show what Christ is like to all the world.
6 “The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 CORINTHIANS 9: 6-7
The Barnabas Fund was created as a way for Cheniere Baptist Church to provide financial help for the essential needs of our church family. We chose the name Barnabas because in Scripture, Barnabas is remembered as a man of generosity and encouragement.
In Acts 4:36–37, Barnabas sold his land and gave the money to the apostles to be used for those in need. He lived out a spirit of open-handed generosity for the sake of his brothers and sisters in Christ. His very name means “son of encouragement”—someone who built up others and strengthened the church (Acts 11:23–24).
By giving to the Barnabas Fund, our church members follow in that same example—meeting real needs, encouraging one another, and displaying the love of Christ in tangible ways.
