We teach and practice the biblical principle of tithing, as an act of worship. A tithe means tenth, and tithing is a practice of giving 10% of our income to God through the local church.

For more information on the history and theological position we have on tithing you can read this article from our friends at TheosU.

ARTICLE: “When Did the Church Start Tithing Money Instead of Objects?”

Each year we set specific goals for outreach and expansion so that more and more people can be reached with the Gospel. Kingdom Builders are people who give sacrificially, above and beyond their tithe to help us expand the Kingdom of God. We do this by partnering with local and global organizations.

To claim your charitable tax deduction, file Form 8283 for the 1040 tax return. To calculate how much to deduct from your taxes, the general rule of thumb is to deduct the fair market value, which is the average of the high/low price of the stock on the day it was received by the nonprofit. This is for assets you’ve held for more than a year. The date the stock was received by the nonprofit can be found in the acknowledgment letter you receive from the nonprofit. Include this letter in your tax return.

We send your printed & digtal contribution statements by mail every year by January 31. You can also request a copy of your contribution statement by emailing hello@royalchurch.life

Giving falls into two categories: charitable cash and asset-based contributions. Charitable cash includes cash, check, or debit card gifts. Asset-based contributions are non-cash and include stocks, cryptocurrency, mutual funds, charitable gift annuities (CGAs), real estate, and more. We accept all of these options.
