Stock Gifts

The gifting of appreciated stock or bonds to King of Kings is a great way to help support the vital ministries of your church, avoid taxation of your gift and receive a benefit on your tax return for your donation. The IRS allows the direct transfer of stock to the church and allows the donor to deduct the value of the stock on the day you give it to the church as a donation on your tax return. You do not have to report the gain in value of your stock as income. The church can sell the stock with no tax consequences.

The process of transferring stock is very easy and all you need to do is call Dianne and she can give you the information on how to make this donation. Should you wish to make such a donation, please call Dianne Johnson at 651-738-3110 even before you call your broker.

Benevolence Dollars

Where do my Benevolence Dollars go?
Benevolence partners are organizations that we support through our regular giving budget, but which can continue to receive extra donations when people feel particularly interested. In other words, a portion of your regular contribution (12-14%) goes to support these ministries. Click on the following link to read the report.

Investing in the Future

Are you ready to take on a Kingdom Assignment?

Several months ago, twenty-four people were given $100 to invest in God's kingdom wherever they saw a need. Since then we have heard amazing stories of lives that have been impacted and changed because these folks invested in God's kingdom, and now it's our turn.

Our ministry dreams in 2010 are directed toward spiritual growth and care ministries, expanded mission locally, including our second Feed My Starving Children event and increased technology capabilities to share Christ's love to our members and beyond. Plus, after twenty years of faithful service our physical church home is in need of new insulation and paint on "old blue."

Our ministry proposal for 2010 is $2,100,000.

Investing in the future of King of Kings is a good place to start your Kingdom Assignment. A place where your life as well as the lives of many others will be impacted by this assignment. As you can see, our goal is mighty, but so is our God. If we trust in God we will meet our goal.

All of the information you need to invest your Time, Talents, and Treasurers can be found right here at your fingertips.

Simply Giving

Simply Giving is a program that allows you to support the work of the church through a weekly or monthly electronic transfer of funds. In fact, many people today handle some or all of their finances in this manner. Signing up for Simply Giving costs neither you nor the church anything, and it can be started or stopped at any time. The program is supported through Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Perhaps its greatest advantage is consistency in giving. During a typical year all of us miss worship for reasons of sickness, business, vacations, or visits to other churches. Simply Giving allows you to give consistently each week all year long whether you are here or not. It is a safe, simple, no hassle way to give and many have found it very much to their liking.

Download a printable Simply Giving form or pick one up at the Welcome Center. For more information about the Simply Giving program, please contact Dianne Johnson at dianne.johnson@kingofkingswoodburymn.org or call the church office at 651-738-3110 X13.

Time & Talent

To give of your time is an important element in stewardship. It is as important as giving of your treasures. The King of Kings Time & Talent Survey is a good place to start when you are looking to give of yourself by volunteering.

Many volunteer opportunities are listed on the form; however, many more exist. The key to volunteering is finding the area that you are passionate about. Print the list and look at the opportunities available. Check off the areas you think you might be interested in as well as those you are definitely sure about. After your form is completed and turned into the church office, someone in charge of the specific area you choose will contact you regarding opportunities you may be interested in.

You may email your completed form to office@kingofkingswoodburymn.org or drop it off at the church office.
