Other Ways to Give

Types of Gifts

Gifts can be made currently with cash, securities, real estate or other personal property, or can be planned, generally as deferred gifts through bequests, trusts, or retirement or insurance plan beneficiary designations. Many of these gift types are tax deductible for all or part of the gift.

Memorial Gifts

At the time of death, many families prefer their friends to donate to a charity in lieu of sending flowers. First Christian Church-Rowlett receives gifts from members and friends in memory of persons who are deceased and in honor of living persons.

Acknowledging Gifts

The church acknowledges these gifts to the donor and provides a list of the donors to the family of the deceased or to the honoree. A permanent record is kept of all memorial gifts.

Use of Memorial Funds

You can even direct which program you would like to see supported with your gifts if you so choose.
