Impacting here and beyond.
Local Church.
Your giving supports the operation of our five campuses with more than 130 staff members that serve the church and helps with the functions of local ministries that impact our communities while sharing the gospel of Jesus.
Ministry Partners.
We partner with Christ-centered ministries to serve our local neighbors who are hungry, imprisoned, fatherless, and lonely. In multiple U.S. cities, you will find your giving meeting the needs of hurting people in a combined effort with campus ministries, church planters, and disaster relief initiatives.
Overseas Missions.
Your giving also supports more than 25 missionary families around the world. From partnering with persecuted indigenous pastors to planting churches in the bush of Africa, your giving is making an impact.
Extend Your Impact
beyond cash gifts.
There are many ways to make a lasting impact beyond cash gifts. You can give through marketable securities, non-cash gifts (such as real estate, cars, boats, or jewelry), life insurance by naming Grace Community as a beneficiary, or planned gifts like retirement assets, or trusts as part of your financial strategy.
Planned Giving
Support Grace Community Church in the future by naming us as a beneficiary of your:
- Will or living trust
- Qualified retirement plan (IRA, 403(b), 401(k), etc.)
- Life insurance policy
- Donor-advised fund
How it works
- Name Grace Community Church as a beneficiary.
- Choose a purpose (or allow use where most needed).
- Specify an amount, percentage, or the remaining balance.
Benefits
- You keep control of your assets during your lifetime.
- You can modify your gift anytime.
- You may direct your gift to a specific ministry.
- Potential estate tax advantages under current law.
Donor Advised Funds
Grace welcomes donors to recommend grants from their donor-advised funds, also known as a DAF. A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. Grace Community Church is a registered 501c3 and an eligible recipient for most donor-advised funds.
Stocks and Securities
If you contribute appreciated securities to Grace, you may receive a twofold income tax benefit: a charitable deduction for the present fair market value and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. For instructions about how to make your gift contact us.
Other Gifts
You can make a lasting impact by donating real estate (a home, vacation property, land, or commercial property), as well as other valuable assets like cars, boats, or jewelry. These gifts may help you avoid capital gains tax, provide an income tax deduction based on the appraised value, and allow you to support Grace in a meaningful way. The process typically includes signing over ownership to the church.

asked questions.
We all have questions. Click the arrow to see if yours is one our frequently asked questions. If not, don't hesitate to contact us.
Is online giving safe? Is your site secure?
Our giving platform has been built with security at its core. Our primary concern is ensuring all data is kept safe and our systems remain robust, reliable, and usable. We partner with Pushpay to bring you a secure online giving experience
Can I give through my bank account?
Yes. Simply choose the Bank account option when selecting your payment method. You can give using a checking or savings account.
Can I use my debit card or credit card?
Yes. We accept any debit or credit card issued by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Are there any hidden fees or charges to give online?
You will not pay any fees. The dollar amount that you select to give will be recorded on your contribution statement. However, the church does incur fees for processing. The most cost-effective way to maximize your giving is to give online from your bank account. To give this way, simply choose the Bank account option as your payment method whenever you make a one-time gift or set up a recurring giving schedule. You can also choose to pay the processing fee as part of your gift by checking the box when making a credit or debit card payment.
How do I get a Contribution Statement or view my Giving History?
Giving History can be viewed at any time by logging into your Pushpay account and viewing your transactions. Keep in mind that you will only see transactions for your Pushpay account as each family member (spouses and children) may have separate accounts. Giving History from January 2019 forward will be available.
Annual Contribution Statements will be available electronically by the end of January each year. You can access your giving statement by logging into your Grace Community Church Account. If you receive a mailed copy of your statement, Annual Statements are typically mailed by the end of January.
Check these resources with instructions on how to view giving statements in PushPay.
