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.

Our main lobby has served CCC well for a long time. Today, many elements need replacing and updating to create an inviting renewed space for our ministries, gatherings, and events. The renovations will create innovative, beautiful gathering spaces that reflect the relational, inspirational, and invitational values of CCC and will help our facility to be a place for our mission (to love our community and invite everyone to experience Jesus together) to flourish.

The total estimated cost of the renovation is 2.1 million dollars. This includes demolition of the existing space(s) and MEP (mechanical/electrical/plumbing) construction costs along with audio/visual/networking upgrades and furnishings.

There are five (5) ways through which we plan to finance the cost of the renovation:

1. Pledges/Commitments from our church family as part of our Renew Together campaign 2. Sale of Church-owned Assets (the property next door at 1120 Phoenixville Pike, estimated proceeds of $300,000+) 3. Advance designated giving from private donors and the balance of CCC's renovation fund 4. Non-designated giving surplus & cash reserve as it is and becomes available 5. A construction loan of up to 1.5M as needed to help manage cash flow of the renovation

Construction began in early December 2024 and has been completed before CCC’s 2025 summer camps, with finishing touches through summer 2025.

D2 Group (d2groups.com) is handling the design of the renovation and Worthington Davis Associates (worthingtondavisassociates.com) is the builder. They were chosen because their work is exceptional, and we have an established and healthy relationship with Worthington Davis from past CCC projects (our parking lot and the 2nd floor KidzROCK worship expansion). They are already very familiar with our facility infrastructure and needs. D2 Group and Worthington Davis have also worked together on other projects and have a good working relationship.

The next-door property at 1120 Phoenixville PIke was purchased for CCC in 1996 for $112,800. In the intervening 28 years it has been largely unoccupied, and occasionally used as a short-term residence for staff and missions partners. It is now worth 3 to 4 times this initial investment. Our Lead Pastor, Executive Team and Council of Elders have decided that the sale of this asset and reinvestment toward the renovation of our facility both serves the ministry and vision of our church and is good stewardship of the resources that God has provided.

The Renew Together campaign launched on August 25, and ran through October 13. We invited our CCC community to be a part of the renovation by making donations and/or pledges for a 2-year commitment period as part of this campaign. Though the initial campaign itself is complete, you may still make contributions or commit to help funding the project now. Download a Commitment Card. Please pray over what you may be commit towards this project. Giving to this campaign officially opened on October 13. Contributions may be made online, in-person via offering boxes, or by mail (including stock or assets). Click here for more details on how to give to the "Renew Together" campaign. Thank you for being a part of bringing our values to life!
