“For God so loved the world, he gave…”
John 3.16
Generosity is one of the biggest characteristics of our God. It’s the knee-jerk reaction of love. We believe that we honor God and are most like him when we give from what He has generously given to us. It truly is an act of worship, perhaps even more meaningful than music or mere words. And he takes what we give and uses it to change the lives of everyone it touches.

“God loves it when the giver delights in the giving.”
2 Corinthians 9.7
All donor designated funds shall be used pursuant to the donor’s designation as is reasonably possible. Gifts to designated accounts that are closed by the Board or that receive more contributions than necessary shall be used in a manner that most closely aligns with the donor’s intent.
This is one of the easiest and most effective ways to give, as money given comes right out of your bank account! This allows for the greatest percentage of your gift to go directly to the work you’ve designated. Simply click give below to give once or to set up a recurring gift! PushPay makes it easy and secure, and you can also store multiple cards and accounts!
A Donor Advised Fund is a convenient way to enjoy tax benefits now, while setting aside money to donate in the future. You contribute money to the fund, receive an immediate tax deduction and then advise where and when the money should be distributed.
A Charitable Gift Annuity can provide a lifetime fixed income for you and/or others, as well as the opportunity to support ministry with the remainder. If you fund a Gift Annuity you could receive an immediate tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
A Charitable Remainder Trust is designed to provide immediate tax benefits, income for you for a set period of time and the support of the ministry of your choice with the trust remainder. The funding of the trust creates an immediate tax deduction and the avoidance of capital gains on the sale of appreciated assets.
An Endowment provides the ministry of your choice with ongoing support for an unlimited number of years, even after your lifetime. In addition, this giving tool provides continual payments, which are particularly ideal if you wish to continue to add assets to the fund, to provide ongoing support to a ministry or to establish a scholarship.
You can also give stocks, bonds, real estate, gift cards, vehicles or other personal property which can either be used by C2 Church in ministry or liquidated to provide for operational needs.
