ADDITIONAL WAYS TO GIVE
The perspective of giving is a whole-life point of view. In addition to our regular giving, the many life resources with which God has blessed us can be part of the building of his kingdom. Indeed, unlike investments in earthly commodoties, the kingdom treasures are not subject to the physcial elements or earthly decay.
The godly giver considers all their resources. The apostle Paul reminds us that we are urged to offer our whole life up as a "living sacrifice" to God. Do we remember to thank God when there is unexpected financial blessing or a raise of some kind? How about when we are spared enormous expenses? Have we included using our estate to be an ongoing kingdom resource after we die?
Stock Transfer
Sometimes your gift can just make good sense in real time. For example, the transfer of your stocks to City View Church may help reduce capital gains tax and maximize your tax deductible donation. (Please consult with your tax professional or financial advisor to discuss in further detail.)
Here are the steps:
1. Initiate a stock transfer from your brokerage account.
2. Direct the transfer of your stock to the account listed below.
3. Submit an online Stock Transfer Form to notify us of the gift.
We will coordinate the rest and apply the settlement value of the stock to your City View giving statement.
