Year End Giving Guide
Thank you for your faithful generosity. As we close out 2025, here’s what you need to know about how your donations will be recorded for tax purposes.

- Offering Plate (12/28): Given by the final Sunday offering in 2025 on 12/28
- Mailed Checks (12/31): Mailed and postmarked by 12/31 (may arrive to CCA in January).

2026 Donations
Checks dated January 1, 2026 or later will be recorded as 2026 contributions. To ensure a gift is tax deductible in 2026, please date your check for 2026 or give online on or after January 1st.
How to Prepay Your 2026 Pledge
Want to make a 2025 tax-deductible gift that counts toward your 2026 pledge? Simply note “2026 pledge” with your donation. If received or postmarked by 12/31, we’ll record it as a 2025 contribution for tax purposes while crediting it toward your 2026 pledge commitment
