You may designate Woodside Bible Church (WBC), the Woodside Vision Foundation (WVF), and/or Dream Centers of Michigan (DCOM) to receive all or portion of your estate after your lifetime. This type of giving can be accomplished through:

Will or Trust – You can name WBC, WVF, and/or DCOM in your will or trust as a beneficiary. Your estate may receive an income tax deduction for the value of your bequest. Consult with your estate planning attorney and your financial and/or tax advisor to analyze your situation and confirm benefits.

Retirement Accounts – You can name WBC, WVF, and/or DCOM as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plans. Any amount remaining in your plan (free of income and estate tax) will transfer to the entity you designate. Consult with your financial and/or tax advisor to analyze your situation and confirm tax benefits.

Life Insurance – You can name WBC, WVF, and/or DCOM as a beneficiary of part or all your insurance policy. You can also choose to make a Woodside entity the owner of a life insurance policy that is no longer needed. When WBC, WVF, or DCOM is made the owner, you may receive a tax deduction for premiums you continue paying each year. If the policy is whole life, you may receive an immediate tax deduction for premiums you continue paying each year. If the policy is whole life, you may receive an immediate tax deduction for the cash value amount. Consult with your financial and/or tax advisor to analyze your situation and confirm tax benefits.

When you give appreciated securities to Woodside Bible Church, you’re leveraging your tax benefits for Kingdom development.

Donors may deduct the fair market value of the securities while avoiding tax on the appreciated gain. In short, donors may claim both the security and its appreciation as a charitable contribution income tax deduction without incurring a capital gains tax.

The deduction is based on the fair market value of the securities on the date they are owned by the church (typically, this is the date the securities are deposited into the church’s brokerage account). Woodside’s policy is to immediately sell the securities received and then use the net proceeds for the designated charitable purpose of the gift.

For further instructions on how to give through stocks, bonds and other marketable securities, email [email protected] or call (248) 879-8533.

If you are over 70 ½ years old, then you may distribute directly from your IRA to the Woodside Bible Church up to $100,000 and exclude the contributed amount from your gross income for tax purposes.

This amount can be counted toward your IRA’s annual required minimum distribution. To learn more, consult with your financial and/or tax advisor to analyze your situation and confirm tax benefits.

As disciples of Christ, giving becomes a natural overflow of our hearts as we steward the resources that God has blessed us with. At Woodside, we give in response to what God has already given us through Jesus.

“…though He was rich, for our sakes He become poor, so that we by His poverty might become rich [in grace]” (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Stewardship is a lifestyle that acknowledges God as the Creator of all things. The fundamental principle of biblical stewardship is that God is the Author of everything, and we are administrators acting on His behalf.

At Woodside, we believe that God wants us to live wisely with the resources that He’s given us. We also believe that God wants us to live open-handed as we trust Him with those resources. Our calling as stewards is to know who the Creator is, walk in the Creator’s will, and represent the Creator well.

Our Woodside campuses operate day-to-day through the resources in their general giving funds. When you support the general fund at your campus, you’re covering critical operational costs while providing the means for local and global community impact.
