Giving is a central part of God's design for the Church. From the very beginning, God chose to build His work through the generosity of His people - not because He needs our gifts, but because He desires our hearts. As such, we believe that giving is more than a transaction - it's an act of worship. It is a way to express gratitude for all God has done and to participate in what He is doing through our church. Every act of generosity is a response to His grace, a reflection of trust in His provision, and an expression of gratitude for His love. Every gift, large or small, becomes a part of a greater story, a story that continues to invite others into the love and life of Christ.

General Fund (most needed) - Regular giving to the General Fund is foundational. It supports our ongoing ministries, worship, outreach, and daily operations, and ensures we can serve faithfully every day.

Beyond this, you can make an additional impact through special giving opportunities, which focus on specific needs or projects:

• Renew Together Fund – Ongoing gifts to this fund help us faithfully pay down the remaining debt balance and steward our resources wisely.

• Renovation Fund – Donations to this fund support facility improvements and allow us to effectively plan for the future.

• Compassion Fund – Every dollar given to this fund goes directly to supporting individuals and families in need in our community.

• Special Projects – Periodically, special opportunities arise to designate gifts toward particular ministry initiatives.

• Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) – A Donor-Advised-Fund allows you to give through an account you’ve already set up for charitable donations. Simply recommend a grant to CCC through your DAF provider using our legal name and tax ID:

• Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)/Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) – If you’re 70 ½ or older, you may be taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your IRA. Did you know you can have some or all of that distribution sent directly to CCC as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)? Many find this a meaningful way to give while also reducing their taxable income. If you’re interested, speak with your financial advisor to see if it’s right for you.
  

• Stocks/Mutual Funds – Donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds can be a tax-wise way to give. You may be able to avoid capital gains taxes and deduct the fair market value of the gift. Please contact our Business Office at Finance@visitccc.com for assistance in setting up your transfer.

• Company Matching Programs – Many employers will match donations their employees make to nonprofits. Check with your HR department to see if your company offers a matching gift program – your gift could go twice as far!
  

• Other ways to leave a lasting legacy include bequests, beneficiary designations, and gifts of property or other assets. We encourage you to speak with your financial or tax advisor to understand how a planned gift can best fit your personal situation.
