Traditional IRA

If you are over 70.5 years old, you can give to the church directly from your traditional IRA. These donations count toward your required minimum distribution but are not taxed, potentially lowering your adjusted gross income for tax purposes. Talk about this with your tax advisor and work with your IRA custodian to donate from your IRA.

Contributions will be credited to the calendar year in which they are received and can be mailed to:

Questions About Giving

Why do we give?

God modeled generosity when He gave the world His Son (John 3:16). In obedience to Christ, we are compelled to become more like Him through our giving. As a result, we grow spiritually and reflect God’s generous nature in the world.

When should we give?

Intentional giving from our financial increase should be our first financial priority (Proverbs 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 16:12).

Many people plan to give by using a recurring online transaction. You can set one up here.

How much should we give?

Tithing is giving 10 percent of one’s gross income to the church. We teach cheerful tithing as a minimum standard to which Christians should aspire.

If you can’t give 10 percent, we would encourage you to start giving any amount now and make tithing a goal.

  • The concept of tithing is taught in the Old Testament (Leviticus 27:30, Malachi 3:10).
  • In the New Testament, the standard of giving is the cross of Jesus Christ.
  • Scripture is clear that everything belongs to God, and we are simply stewards (Psalm 24:1).
  • We should give joyfully and generously (II Corinthians 9:7).
  • While free from the legality of percentages, we measure our giving by what Christ gave for us. Our generosity is in response to a debt we can never repay!
