HOW DO I DETERMINE HOW GOD WANTS ME TO PARTICIPATE? +

We are asking every person who calls C3 Palm Springs their home church to pray and ask the LORD to lead them by His Holy Spirit and direct them as to which level of commitment they are to engage in. God does not ask us to give everything but he does ask us to give something. We can all sacrifice and give something knowing that we cannot out-give God and “that he is a debtor to no man!”

It’s not equal giving, but equal sacrifice. 2 Chronicles 25:9.

WHY ARE WE DOING THE VISION BUILDERS CAMPAIGN? +

There are many people in our community (and beyond) who do not yet know Jesus. It’s our vision to have a powerful, local church that creates opportunities to bring people, not just into relationships, but also into discipleship with Jesus Christ.

HOW DOES MY VISION BUILDERS PLEDGE AFFECT MY TITHE? +

It doesn’t! Vision Builders pledges are an offering above your normal ten percent. While tithes help finance the “operations” of the church, Vision Builders help fund the GROWTH of the church! This kind of sacrificial giving is how C3 Church will continue to fulfill its vision of influencing our community.

CAN I GIVE TO VISION BUILDERS INSTEAD OF TITHING (10%)? +

Unfortunately, no. Vision Builders relies on church members aligning their hearts and minds on things above, thereby Vision Builders gifts should be “over and above” their tithe.

I AM NEW TO C3, SHOULD I BE GIVING TO VISION BUILDERS? IF SO, WHY? +

There is no pressure for anyone to give to Vision Builders, nor is there any minimum requirement. New people who would like to give are most welcome, as is anyone who finds that our vision resonates with them.

WHEN DO I MAKE MY FAITH COMMITMENT? +

You can make your commitment at any point! Just click the "START YOUR PLEDGE" BUTTON to give to Vision Builders in this current 2023/2024 campaign.

HOW DO THE FUNDS GET ALLOCATED? +

The funds are spent in accordance with the initiatives of BUILDING, REACHING, and CARING.

ARE MY VISION BUILDERS CONTRIBUTIONS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE? +

Yes, if you are a citizen of the United States, your contributions are 100% tax-deductible. If you have given and live in another country, you will need to consult with your country’s tax code to sort out if your donations are tax-deductible. You may request a tax receipt at any time by contacting the finance department at C3 Church.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED METHOD OF GIVING? +

We recommend setting up recurring giving via our Church Center app (make sure to choose “Vision Builder” in the Fund tab).

Making a regular weekly or monthly contribution is one of the most successful ways to fulfill your commitment.

Prefer to give via Auto Credit, Pre Authorized Debit or to give a one time gift via Paypal? It's available as well.

WHAT IF I’M HAVING TROUBLE FULFILLING MY COMMITMENT? +

We encourage you to make a commitment that stretches your faith, but is not super unrealistic. If you are finding it difficult we ask you to continue to seek the Lord for direction & strategy to remain financially a part of this Vision. Remember that He is bigger than our circumstances and desires to move greatly in your life.

I AM IN SIGNIFICANT DEBT, SHOULD I PAY OFF MY DEBTS OR GIVE TO VISION BUILDERS? +

If you are in out of control debt, paying it off should be your second priority, after your tithe. Reducing the debt to a manageable amount (or even clearing it completely) should be attempted as you also make a manageable gift to Vision Builders. Remember, no amount is insignificant.

DO YOU NEED MY DETAILS? I WISH TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS. +

You may remain anonymous if you wish, and all details of your giving will be kept confidential, however you will not be able to claim tax deductibility for your giving as we will be unable to give you a record of your giving.
