2020 Year-End Giving

Casting Your Crown in 2020 Year-End Gift

Give

At times it feels as if we are living the Revelation timeline. Whether or not this is the End of Days is irrelevant in light of our eternal destination. What is relevant now, however, is how we live our lives, are we living for Jesus? If you are living for Jesus then you should be “casting your crown”, meaning that all your power, influence, wealth, and favor is a crown of life that Jesus has placed on your head. Are you able to give the crown that Jesus gave you back to Him saying “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power?”

As you plan your year-end gift please consider making the Church your number one priority.

Now more than ever your church needs to remain strong! And we have been a strong church in 2020. In some ways, this year has made Granite Creek a better church. God has given us the supernatural grace to minister to countless families in crisis, we’ve led many to the lord and have fed thousands of people. This transformational work that our pastoral staff has done will continue no matter what the world throws at us, but you can make a difference, you can make us better, you can help us grow by including Granite Creek in your year-end giving.

In Him, Pastors Joshua & Meko Kapchinsky

New this year! IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

The CARES Act passed by Congress on March 27, 2020, suspended the required minimum distribution (RMD) from IRAs for 2020.

You may still wish to use IRA funds to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). If you are 70 ½ or older, a gift from your IRA allows you to give pre-tax assets in the form of a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). The gift of a QCD allows you to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and to contribute up to a maximum of $100,000 a year to Granite Creek Community Church and other charities.

Benefits of an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

Your gift is excluded from taxable income, which is a nice tax benefit if you do not itemize deductions.

• It may prevent you from being pushed into a higher tax bracket and help you avoid the limit on charitable deductions.

• It may also reduce the Medicare Part B premiums you pay

• It minimizes the effect on your cash flow; the gift

is from your assets, not your checkbook

• It allows you to make a significant gift to support Granite Creek Community Church


How to Make a Gift From Your IRA

Contact your IRA custodian to instruct them to make a direct gift (a Qualified Charitable Distribution) from your IRA to Granite Creek Community Church. Once you have instructed your IRA custodian, please let our office know to expect your gift as many custodians send a check without other documentation such as your name. Inform Granite Creek at (909) 625-4455.

Your IRA custodian will send a check directly to Granite Creek Community Church. For year-end gifts, requests to your IRA custodian should be made in December for a 2020 gift to guarantee that Granite Creek receives your gift by December 31.

Qualified Charitable Distributions do not increase your adjusted gross income as a taxable IRA distribution would. Please note that QCDs do not qualify for a charitable deduction. The tax benefit results from the reduced taxable income.

Contact us

If you have questions about an IRA Qualified

Charitable Distribution or if you would like to designate your gift for a specific purpose, please contact us. We are happy to assist you and answer any questions you might have.

Welcome Children Youth College Family / Adult

Granite Creek Community Church (GCCC) is a Spirit-filled church in the college town of Claremont, CA where it's all about relationship, not religion. Come celebrate with us Sunday mornings at 9:00 am & 11:00 am and at Sunday Night 6:30 - 7:30 pm.

In addition to three Sunday Services, we offer classes, small groups, training, youth opportunities, college groups, and various seasonal events throughout the year.

Get to Know Us

At Granite Creek, kids are a priority. One of our values is to see kids grow up to become everything God created them to be as they develop a personal faith and relationship with Christ in a safe and loving environment. We partner with parents to provide experiences that will meet their child's mental, emotional and spiritual needs, so that their children will become fully devoted followers of Christ.

More About Children's Programs

GCY is a ministry designed for 7th through 12th graders, to help students engage in a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ, to experience God in a true and relevant way, while in a relational, safe, and relaxed environment. To show every student that God loves them and has an amazing plan for their lives. We know youth have real struggles, and it is our desire that each student know our team is genuinely there to listen, pray and care for them.

Granite Creek Youth

FIDELIS is the college and young adult group at Granite Creek Community Church! We're excited to encourage leadership for the next generation! Statistics show that we are losing a generation in the church (18-30 year olds) and at FIDELIS we aim to strengthen and support this generation as they define their faith walk and work through issues unique to them.

We are people-driven church, not program driven. Ministries exist to meet the spiritual, emotional, physical, and psychological needs of people. But, they also provide opportunities for members to grow in maturity in Christ through giving to others. GCCC ministries provide opportunities for you to serve others and actively pursue fulfilling God's purposes for your life.

Thank you for joining us in what God is doing at Granite Creek Community Church!
