We are grateful that God is moving you to support His Kingdom work through Church of the City. We utilize an online giving provider called “Pushpay” that can be accessed via your mobile phone. Your first time giving through Pushpay, you will need to provide your payment account details. COTC donors who already give recurrently will receive a personal email with instructions for transitioning to Pushpay. 
To give today, select a COTC location below.

Legacy and Estate Giving

One of the most profound expressions of faith is choosing to extend your generosity beyond your lifetime. A planned gift to Church of the City ensures that the mission of seeing God’s fame and deeds renewed in our city has resources for generations to come.

"A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children."
- Proverbs 13:22


Ways to Leave a Legacy

1. Bequest in your will or trust.

The most common form of legacy giving is through designating a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or particular assets to Church of the City in your will or living trust. You retain full control of your assets during your lifetime, but this simple bequest would ensure that your intent is honored.

2. Beneficiary Designation

Name COTC as a beneficiary on your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), life insurance policy, or bank account. These assets pass directly to the church outside of probate — often the simplest gift to arrange.

3. Life Insurance Gift

Name COTC as the owner or beneficiary of an existing or new life insurance policy. You may receive income tax deductions on premium payments, and the policy’s full death benefit passes to the church.

4. Trusts

Several types of charitable trusts may allow you to support Church of the City while also providing financial benefits for you or your loved ones during your lifetime. Trust arrangements can be powerful giving tools. Still, they do require careful legal and financial planning. We recommend connecting with National Christian Foundation, a trusted partner, who can help you explore whether a trust arrangement is right for your situation. Please contact Stewardship@cotc.com, and we will be happy to make that introduction.

5. Retained Life Estate

Deed your home or property to COTC now while retaining the right to live there for the rest of your life. You receive a charitable deduction today, and the property transfers to the church at your passing.
