Giving
Bring Your Offering to Church
If you would like to write a check or give cash, you may bring it with you to a Sunday service, place it in the offering envelope provided with each program, and drop it in the offering bowls as they are passed. All gifts are processed and deposited the next day.
Mail Your Check
Sometimes it is easier to simply mail in your gift like you would any other bill. Many choose this option by sending their offering to:
Finance Department
Christ's Church of the Valley
1560 Yeager Road
Royersford, PA 19468
Your gift will be processed and counted toward the following week's offering.
Electronic Transfer of Funds
Consider electronic fund transfers as a convenient way to give directly from your bank account on a regular basis. Your financial institution will debit your bank account and transfer your gift to the church account. For the church's account information to set up the electronic transfer of funds at your financial institution, contact the at 610.792.0777 ext. 203.
Payroll Deduction
Many aren't aware that the same process that allows employers to make automatic payroll deductions for things such as child support and charity contributions like the United Way, can also be used to give directly to the church. Contact your company's Human Resources Department for more information about payroll deductions. Once you have enrolled in the payroll deduction process, contact the at 610.792.0777 ext. 203 with your information.
Giving By Credit Card or Debit Card
Many choose to give with a credit card or debit card because of ease and convenience. There are two ways to set up payments with credit cards/debit cards.
First, you can set up a regular payment schedule. This allows the church to receive your gift on specific dates chosen by you. To set up the schedule or for more information, contact the at 610.792.0777 ext. 203.
Second, you can give online. Giving online is safe and secure. If you have further questions, please contact the at 610.792.0777 ext. 203.
Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are great ways to give without incurring capital gains on appreciated assets. You can transfer your stock gift from your account directly to the church's account. The church will sell the asset at the optimal time and apply the amount of the sale to your annual contribution statement. If you have a stock certificate on hand and want to discuss how to make the transfer, contact the at 610.792.0777 ext. 203.
Donation of Valuables
Instead of using your car for a trade-in, you can donate that car to the church and receive a tax write-off. This is not only limited to cars, but also includes boats, land, jewelry, and any other items of value. You donate the item to the church and the church in turn sells the item and includes that amount in your annual contribution statement. For more information, contact the at 610.792.0777 ext. 203.
End of the Year Gifts
While forecasting their upcoming tax liability, many realize that an "end of the year" gift of checks, securities, and valuable items can alleviate some of that liability and make a difference in the lives of people at the same time. If you would like to make an end of the year gift, simply give your contribution at the regular offering time or mail it to the church by December 31st of that year. For more information, contact the at 610.792.0777 ext. 203.
