Giving appreciated securities is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to further the mission: Teach God's Word and Transform Lives. Benefits of gifts of stocks include the following:

• Avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated stock
  
• Receive a charitable income tax deduction
  
• Further our part in the Great Commission (Mt 28:18-20).

Speak with your tax adviser or CPA. If you have any questions about how gifts of stocks can be applied, please contact us.We would be happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace -- 1 Pet. 4:10.
