Year End Tax Deductible Giving - Maximize Your Money!
If you are looking for a way to maximize your money as the year ends, consider making a financial gift to VFC. Your gifts are tax-deductible and every penny goes to furthering the gospel of Jesus Christ in Southwest Michigan and around the world. There is no better way to maximize the power of your wealth!
Your Gifts Are Making a Difference
Giving is a reflection of a generous heart full of faith, trust and gratefulness. Isaiah 32:8 tells us, "...a generous man devises generous things, and by generosity he will stand." Each week, hundreds of individuals and families do just that! They give generously and joyfully to the Lord's work and His ministry at Valley Family Church.
From the smallest gifts to the largest gifts - together, generous people are making these things happen:
Every week people are finding out that they matter to God!
Every week thousands of people are coming to Christ, growing in the Word, getting filled with the Spirit, worshipping God and reaching out to their friends with the gospel.
Every week hundreds of kids and teens are lconnecting with the Lord in a real, life-changing way. Kids are getting to know Jesus personally and they are being taught what it means to be a Christian in this modern culture. We are raising up a generation of strong, on-fire kids for God!
Every week individual lives, marriages and families are being restored through small groups, the Family Care Center, the Valley Family Community Center and the Prayer and Healing School.
Every week hope and help is being brought to the poor and hurting as VFC gives time, energy and finances to support ministries and missionaries - both locally and globally.

Who Gives? Friends, Members and Partners
We understand that people are at different stages in their progressive spiritual journey. At VFC, there is a way for everyone to give including: Friends, Members and Partners and all gifts are tax-deductable.
Friends: Friends attend VFC on a regular basis. Friends feel at home and are growing in their faith through attending services, classes, small groups and other programs. Friends pray for the church, contribute through their financial gifts and serve in entry-level areas.
Members: Members enjoy the mutual commitment they give and receive at VFC. A Member is growing and maturing in their faith and desires to help others grow, too. A Member is committed to attend, pray and help fulfill the VFC vision. Members are committed to contribute through tithes and offerings and by serving the Lord in volunteer or leadership areas.
Partners: A Partner may or may not attend VFC; they may live in another part of the world or be a part of our "virtual congregation" by watching VFC sermons online and being ministered to by the variety of resources from this ministry. No matter how they are connected to VFC; they embrace what God is doing here. They want to help further the eternal influence of VFC, so they have made a decision to invest in the vision with their prayers and faithful, regular financial contributions.
