Life Takes Root first in Christ. He is our life — the source of everything we are and everything we hope to become as a congregation. When people are connected to him, they grow. Their faith grows. Their love grows. Their desire to serve grows. Our building exists to support that growth, to give it room, to give it a home.
Life Takes Root for our community. Living Stone will be the first church to be built in this corner of northwest Arvada. That is not a small thing. It means we have an extraordinary opportunity — and a real responsibility — to put down roots in this neighborhood for the long haul. Even for those who never join our congregation, we want our doors and our grounds to be a place where community is formed. We pray it’s a place where neighbors become friends and where people encounter something they didn’t expect: a church that is genuinely, joyfully alive.
Life Takes Root conveys the idea of “putting down roots”. When that happens, you are settled and plan to stay. We pray our worship and community center serves many generations to come. Think of the people who will come through our worship center, the children who have yet to be born, the neighbors we have yet to meet, brought to Jesus through our ministry. There will be faces we will see in eternity who have been touched
by our ministry. We are building something that will still be here long after us, serving generations we will never meet.
Our hope is to present gifts totaling $1,000,000 or more over three years. Special gifts for Life Takes Root will be used to develop our land site and
are over and above current giving.
A one-time lump sum gift such as a tax refund, home sale, or simply a cash offering.
Set up recurring gifts at your chosen frequency such as weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly.
Taking funds that currently funnel into lifestyle areas such as entertainment, dining, subscriptions, gifts, allowances, or cable and redirecting them toward giving to God.
Payments that come from rental property, certificates of deposit, stock dividends, bonds, or interest.
Gifts of appreciated securities (stocks or mutual funds) result in a double benefit: no capital gains tax and a charitable deduction for the fair market value.
If you hold securities that have declined in value, you can only deduct the market value if you donate them. Instead, sell them, accept a tax loss, and donate the cash.
If you are over 70.5 years of age, you can choose to give directly from your IRA. Save on taxes by directing your distribution to Living Stone.
