WHY WE GIVE

The death and resurrection of Jesus represents the most generous gift ever given – when the King of Glory gave up everything in order to reconcile us to God. Giving cheerfully, sacrificially, and consistently is a part of our worship. When we are generous with others, we remind one another of the great generosity of our God. If you would like to make a one-time gift or set up recurring automatic giving online, please follow the instructions below. Thank you for your generosity.

GIVE ONLINE


GIVE - DURING WORSHIP SERVICE

At the end of each service there is an opportunity to worship through giving.  Offering boxes are located in the front and the back of our sanctuary.  Feel free to drop your offering into one of these boxes.  If you are giving cash and would like it reflected on your annual contribution statement, please note your name and address on the envelope. Any donation of cash not identified separately in an envelope with a full name and address will be treated as an anonymous donation. Donations made via check do not require a separate envelope in order for the donation to be included on your contribution statement.  


GIVE - BY MAIL

Donations may be mailed directly to the church or dropped off at the church office during regular business hours.  This option also works well for using the BillPay or eCheck function available at no cost through most banking institutions.  Please be sure your check includes your full name, and, if possible, your mailing address.  Checks may be mailed to the church at this address:


Cornerstone Family Church

Attn: General Fund

205 N. Peru Street

Byron, IL 61010


GIVE - OTHER ASSETS

To give stock, real estate, a gift from appreciated assets, or to leave a legacy gift in your will or trust, please contact the church office.


GIVE - DEACON/BENEVOLENCE FUND

The purpose of these funds is to assist members of our church and the community when a hardship arises.  This offering is taken on the first Sunday of the month at the end of the worship service.  Ushers will be in the back of the sanctuary with offering plates if you would like to give to this specific ministry.  It is important to indicate "Deacon/Benevolence Fund" in the memo line of your check or on the envelope along with your name, if cash, so these funds do not go into the general fund and are reflected on your annual contribution statement.


GIVE - CORNERSTONE'S CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Did you know that you can give to our capital campaign?  Giving special donations over and above your normal tithe can help with bigger projects for the church and parsonage.  Please make checks out to "Cornerstone Family Church" and specify "Capital Campaign" on the memo line.
