At Trinity Presbyterian Church, we believe all of life can only be properly understood when viewed through the lens of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is only when we understand our material possessions in light of Christ's sacrificial love for us that we can truly have a healthy relationship towards our material possessions.
Only by seeing that Christ gave up everything so that we could inherit the riches of heaven will we be transformed into individuals who are both joyful and generous. Paul summarizes this idea in 2 Corinthians 8:9: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." Understanding the riches we have already received in Christ liberates us from the need to make an idol of our possessions and motivates us to invest our wealth, talents and time in the eternal kingdom of God.
Stewardship: How Can I Financially Contribute to Trinity?
There are many ways you can contribute financially to Trinity.
• Place your checks/cash in the offering on Sundays.
• Mail your checks (please don't send cash) to the church:
Trinity Presbyterian Church
PO Box 5102
Charlottesville, VA 22905-5102
• You can donate stocks and mutual funds and other 'property' that
often provide you with a double tax benefit (assuming the investment has
appreciated and that you have held the stock for more than one year). By
donating appreciated securities you avoid the capital gains tax faced when
selling the stock, and the church pays no capital gains tax when it sells
the donated security. Consult a tax professional before initiating any transfer
of securities. If you would like to donate appreciated securities, contact Patty Anderson.
The PCA Foundation offers a variety of charitable financial services to help Christians fulfill their stewardship responsibilities and carry out their charitable desires.
