How You Can Support "Growing God's Family"

We know not everyone has opportunities to volunteer for the many projects that go in to the building of our new facilities. We have jobs, families and other responsibilities that demand our time and attention. We are all able, however, to contribute a portion of our financial resources to the job at hand. Here are some ideas to pray about:

Four Ways of Giving:

Give a Cash Gift:
Prayerfully ask God to reveal creative ways to increase your giving potential. Consider:
Savings
Tax Refunds
Stock Dividends
Garage Sales
Extra Part-time Job
Reducing Expenses
Deferring Major Purchases


Make a 36 month Commitment:
You can give much more when the commitment is spread over a period of time.

Give a Gift of Assets:
In addition to cash, you can gift real estate, stocks, bonds, coins, jewelry, etc.

HOW TO GIVE TANGIBLE ASSETS
In addition to cash commitments to Growing God’s Family, many people are giving stocks, bonds, coin collections, real estate, fine jewelry, art, and other items of value that can be converted into cash toward the campaign. If you would like to give a tangible asset, please keep the following in mind.

  • The church cannot accept an asset with a debt or lean attached to it.
  • The church cannot give you an appraisal.
  • It is better to give an appreciating asset to the church instead of selling it yourself and committing that money. By doing this, you avoid capital gains tax.
  • It is better to sell a depreciating asset yourself and give the money to the church.
Please notify the church before delivering your asset or bringing any large items on Celebration Sunday, March 16th.


Make Cross Road Fellowship a Beneficiary in Your Will:
There are many tools available today that enable you to include your church in estate planning without depriving your heirs of anything.

For more information, please call or email Vivian Rogers at Cross Road Fellowship Bible Church

Note: Your Growing God’s Family commitment should be over & above your regular tithes during the next 36 months. We have many exciting things happening in our church right now that cannot be neglected as we pursue our efforts in "Growing God's Family."
