Give Online
Giving online is simple and flexible. You can choose to make a one-time gift or set up recurring contributions to the Advance Building Fund. We accept donations from your checking or savings account, or through debit and credit cards. Just head to our online giving page, select the fund, and complete your gift with the payment method that works best for you.
Cash or Check
To give cash or write a check, simply place your gift in the offering basket during Sunday services or drop it in one of the offering boxes located in the foyers at both of our campuses. You can also mail your gift directly to us at:

Stocks
Donating stock is a wonderful way to make an impact. By transferring appreciated stock directly to Valley Baptist Church, you can avoid capital gains taxes, making your gift go even further! To make a stock donation, reach out to our broker, Stifel, at the following address:

IRA Accounts
For those of you who are required to take minimum distributions from your IRA, there’s an opportunity to help you avoid income taxes. By making a qualified charitable distribution to Valley Baptist Church, you can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution – without the added income taxes. It’s a great option for those looking to give back while managing their taxable income.
