We Are a Movement of Generosity.
The average American church member gives 2.58% of their income. Once it makes it into the hands of churches, only about 2% makes it to missions and poor. That means Christians are only giving about two percent of two percent. For a broken world, in the midst of a culture of greed, we are committed to the subversive lifestyle of extravagant generosity.
We strive to give 50% of everything we spend back to missions, church planting, and the poor. Will you join us?
We Are a Movement of Wisdom.
We realize that The Church has been guilty of sending money to places that offer very little kingdom return and we are committed to resist this form of bad stewardship. We run every missions request and partnership opportunity through a critical lens to ensure that every dollar we invest has its maximum impact.

Other Ways to Give
At Greenhouse Church, our generosity is rooted in gratitude for all the Lord has done for us. There are several ways that you can give:
-
Give by using Church Offering envelopes, which are available during service next to our offering boxes. These envelopes allow you to clearly designate your gift and help us maintain accurate records of your giving. Simply fill out the envelope and place it in any of the offering boxes during service. If you have any questions or need assistance, our team will be glad to help.
-
Gifts of appreciated securities or stock can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. If your gift of stock is one you have owned for more than one year, you may deduct the full fair market value of the stock as a charitable contribution, while bypassing all capital gains taxes. Please contact our administration at sfladmin@greenhousechurch.org for more information.
-
Gifts of appreciated real estate are like gifts of appreciated stock. Assuming you have owned the property for more than one year, you may deduct as a charitable contribution the fair market value of real estate while avoiding all capital gains.
-
Life insurance is a unique way to give to charity. To qualify, the charity needs to become the owner and beneficiary. No incidents of ownership should be retained. If the policy is paid up, your charitable contributions is generally the replacement value or cost basis of the policy, whichever is less. Ongoing premiums paid on a gifted life insurance policy also qualify for charitable deductions.

Many individuals work for corporations that match an employee’s giving to charitable organizations. Some companies will match gifts to churches for building funds and other designated projects. Please check with your company’s Human Resources Office for the proper forms. If there is a question, please contact our administration at sfladmin@greenhousechurch.org

An irrevocable plan is one which can not be changed, and a revocable plan can be changed. An irrevocable plan or instrument usually qualifies for special tax consideration.
