Set up online banking. Most banks now provide online banking for those who prefer not to write checks. Follow directions from your bank to create Christ Church as a new Payee and choose the frequency of your gifts.

Offerings

The easiest way to give with cash or check is during the collection of the offering during our worship services. Contributions may also be mailed or delivered during the week to the business office.

To receive a receipt for tax deductions, enclose cash offerings in the pew envelopes. The IRS requires receipts or statements to verify contributions of any amount for tax deduction.

When writing checks indicate on the memo line any amount that is designated to a fund other than the general operating budget.

Other Gifts

Donations of Appreciated Property. Gifts of stocks, bonds, and mutual fund shares to the church may provide you with two tax advantages: the charitable deduction and no income tax on appreciated value. Please check with your own tax advisor. The following forms will assist you in this process:

Qualified Charitable Deduction

For many people, the increased standard deduction that occurred in 2018 greatly impacted the tax advantage gained from charitable giving. If you are at least 70 ½ years of age, you may be able to reduce your taxable income by making your charitable gifts to Christ church directly from your IRA as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). Please consult your tax adviser to see if this might be a good option for you.

Text to Give

You can now send donations to Christ Church via text message.

Our Values

Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord. Giving is the natural, thankful response of offering back to God a portion of what He has provided for us.

We give with generous hearts, recognizing that...

Ultimately, God owns all things
God designates us as faithful stewards of our possessions
Giving to the church and others is a universal calling of our stewardship

Christ Church values transparency and oversight in our budgeting and spending. Our budget is approved by our Vestry, a member-elected lay leadership team, and financial reports are issued to the congregation on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.

Our Policies

Christ Church publishes a summary of our income and expenses on a monthly and yearly basis.
