In every season, our church’s mission is to love God and love others, because God first loved us. As we enter 2021, will you pray and ask the Spirit how He wants you to invest in this mission? Every gift makes an impact, not just on people’s lives today, but in eternity.
All the ministries of our church are funded by financial gifts. Motivated by grace, people give to our general operating budget, providing the resources we need to share God’s love. We offer multiple ways to give to our church:

These can be given during Sunday morning worship service, dropped off at the church office during business hours, posted by mail, or transmitted via electronic bill-pay through your bank.

Want to get the most value from your nest egg, protect your heirs from heavy taxes and make your mark at our organization? Consider leaving a portion of your retirement plan assets to Stonebriar Community Church.
If you die with retirement plan assets in your estate, those assets are subject to income taxes. This can reduce the amount that normally would be passed to heirs by up to 39.6 percent. In contrast, as a nonprofit organization, we are tax-exempt and eligible to receive the full amount and bypass any federal taxes. Income taxes can be eliminated or reduced through a carefully planned charitable gift.
Consider these gift options:
Please contact your financial advisor, CPA, or estate planning attorney to discuss whether this strategy may be beneficial. For questions, clarifications or if you should choose to give, please call 469-252-5394 or email giving@stonebriar.org to contact us.
The donor advised fund (DAF) is often used by cost conscious donors or by donors who wish to maximize their current income tax deductions. It is a gifting vehicle created with a “parent organization” such as a community foundation or another qualified 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. The parent organization provides a document, normally free of charge, in exchange for an irrevocable relationship. While you may choose what charity to support, you have few responsibilities beyond donating funds and suggesting how they are used. The parent organization will provide the investment component (with limited or no input from you), as well as the complete administration of the fund. So you enjoy some of the benefits of a private foundation without the paperwork and startup expenses.
Please contact your financial advisor, CPA, or estate planning attorney to discuss whether this strategy may be beneficial. For questions, clarifications or if you should choose to give, please call 469-252-5394 or email giving@stonebriar.org to contact us.
For many people, the increased standard deduction in 2018 could greatly impact the tax advantage gained from charitable giving. If you are at least 70 ½ years of age, you may be able to reduce your taxable income by making your Stonebriar gifts directly from your IRA as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).
Please consult your tax advisor to see if this might be a good option for you.
