The COVID-19 virus has completely turned our way of life upside down.  
But please  believe God is still in control
 
We invite you to put your faith to work through giving.  
 
Nothing says I trust you like putting your money where your mouth is; put your faith into action!  It all begins with the tithe which is defined as a tenth of your increase (paid to God).

  He tells us, "I am the Lord, All-Powerful, and I challenge you to put Me to the test. Bring the entire ten percent into the storehouse, so there will be food in My house. Then, I will open the windows of heaven and flood you with blessing after blessing."  Malachi 3:10 (CEV)
 
We're encouraging you to try God during this difficult time, and what better place to sow a seed than  at Elevation Baptist Church.  You can give securely  online  from our website or mail your tithe to: 
 
Elevation Baptist Church
5271 EBC Village Way
Knightdale, NC 27545 
 
Don't let the threat of this virus keep you from obeying God, and unlocking the blessings He has for you and your family.
 
Anchored in His Promises,
EBC C-PAC Team

COVID-19 SMALL BUSINESS RESOURCE

Small Business Relief for Covid-19
As a result of the stimulus package, most nonprofits with fewer than 500 employees will have access to forgivable small business loans to nonprofits with 500 or fewer employees that will allow them to cover the costs of payroll, operations, and debt service during the COVID-19 crisis. These loans, known as SBA 7(a) loans, will be forgiven for organizations that maintain their staff between March 1 and June 30, essentially turning them into grants
