Gift Options & Opportunities

All members are asked to consider gifts above and beyond what they give in their regular offerings and other contributions toward this special campaign. And there is a variety of ways that gifts can be made.

• Long-term subscriptions, or pledges payable over 3 years, are easier for most and essential to meeting our goal, since it would be impractical, if not impossible, to reach our objectives with one-time, out-of-pocket gifts.  Gifts may be made in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments at the donor’s discretion.  A 10% initial investment toward your total pledge is encouraged.
• Non-cash gifts are an additional or alternative way you can support our cause.  You may wish, for example, to consider gifts “in kind” such as labor and materials; gifts of securities such as stocks and bonds; gifts of real estate such as land, homes, vacation and rental properties or even personal property such as artwork, automobiles, jewelry and antiques.  
• Finally, you can also choose to support our efforts through deferred gifts. These are gifts that can be given or arranged for now, but will not be received until later, and include gifts through a person’s will by bequest, gifts of life insurance policies or annuities, and trust arrangements.

Prices of the various items listed are not necessarily reflective of the component’s cost, but rather the value of the area or item and the gift needs and abilities of our community.  Naming rights for capital items given will extend for up to twenty (20) years depending on the useful life of the item given.  Naming and recognition rights for these will be granted once payment for the item is fully received.

Donors of these specific gifts will have their names and/or the names of those they are honoring commemorated in some special way as will donors of all gifts to our campaign. 

Summary

But whatever the gift or method of making it may be, please be assured that your support is both urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated.  Through the prayerful, volunteer and financial support of many, and the extra-ordinary support of a few, we will succeed in our task.

Won’t you please join us in this exciting and essential effort to better our service to one another, to our community and to Christ?
