Giving

“The dollar is a miraculous thing. It’s our personal energy reduced to portable form and endowed with power we do not ourselves possess. It can go where we cannot go; speak languages we cannot speak; lift burdens we cannot lift; save lives which we cannot deal with directly. Our dollar given to the church buys more to relieve human needs than any other place we might choose to invest it.”

~ Harry Emerson Fosdick

Giving Methods

  • Give Online
  • Giving Cash: Cash or checks can be given in the weekly offering, and checks can be mailed to the church office. Please make checks payable to Trinity Presbyterian Church; if you have a giving number or giving envelope number, please indicate on the memo line.
  • Giving Electronically: Electronic giving helps the church stabilize its cash flow, reduce administrative costs, and adds convenience for the giver. To give electronically, please complete an electronic giving form so that your giving takes place automatically from your bank account according to your instructions.
  • Giving Stock: When stock has appreciated, giving the stock directly to the church, rather than selling the stock and then giving the proceeds to the church, can allow the giver to avoid capital gains taxes. Please see the stock donation procedure.
  • Giving Through Estate Planning: Just as we are called to be good stewards of what God has entrusted to us during our lifetime, we are also called to be good stewards of the resources that may remain at the end of life. You can support the ongoing ministry of Trinity through a planned gift included in your estate planning. For more information contact Holly Bride Hayashida at (408) 569-9610.
  • Giving Designation

    Giving can be designated in any of the following ways:

  • Unified Budget: The Unified Budget supports the ongoing ministries and operating expenses of the church. The ministry of Trinity depends on the faithful stewardship of all of us.
  • Capital Campaign: The Capital Campaign helps to complete the funding of our remodel which has led to a more accessible, safe, and welcoming church facility.
  • Deacons' Fund: The Deacons' fund supports needs in our community such as holiday baskets, FISH, emergency funds for those in needs, etc.
  • Support and Endowment

    Support and Endowment Funds come primarily from bequests and other special gifts received from members and friends of Trinity. Click here for more information.

  • Endowment Fund: The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to ensure the continued growth and security of the Church’s mission. Therefore, the principal of the fund is not spent but is allowed to grow and produce income that flows into the Support Fund, which is intended to be spent.
  • Support Fund: The Support fund can be used for mission and outreach, capital projects and improvements, support for seminarians, and undertakings that have a long term benefit to the poor. If you have a suggestion for how Support Funds might be used, please complete the attached form.
