- Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) are more valuable than ever. With the doubling of the standard deduction and the suspension and limitation of many other deductions, far fewer taxpayers are likely to itemize. This means that far fewer will be able take advantage of the deduction for charitable giving. With a QCD, you can use the standard deduction and get a tax break for your charitable contributions. Is a QCD right for you? You must be age 70 ½ and the funds from your IRA must go directly to a qualified charity. You are also limited to $100,000 annually. A bonus benefit is that your QCD can satisfy your required minimum distribution from the IRA. See Grace Hodge for details.

First-Ever Youth Interplanetary Mission Trip Blasting Off in 2020
Every two years, our high school students go on a mission trip either to a domestic or international location. And in 2020, they will be blasting off in College Park’s first-ever interplanetary mission trip to the Moon!
The purpose of this trip is to lay the foundation for future mission teams to share the Gospel in a human colony on the natural satellite. Team members will participate in prayer walks across the surface of the Moon, help build habitats for future colonists, lead a Vacation Bible School for the local children, and visit the alien base that is known to exist on the dark side of the moon!
Through a partnership with the Interplanetary Missions Organization (IMO), our group will be able to minister and stay in different communities on the Moon. IMO is a Christian organization that enables churches to take mission trips to different planets throughout our solar system. Through fundraising events like Dinner and a Show, College Park is able to offer the opportunity for high school students to go on this mission trip and many others.
If a high school student is interested in going on this mission trip, please contact Jeff Allen, the Associate Pastor of Students and Families.
We are excited about this mission trip in 2020 and can’t wait to minister to the people of the Moon!
Note: If you haven’t caught on yet, April Fools! While our youth won’t actually go to the Moon for their mission trip in 2020, they will be heading to an international country. We believe our mission trips are vital to the spiritual health and upbringing of our youth and necessary in the fulfillment of The Great Commission and College Park’s mission. Because of the support of College Park and it’s members, and through different fundraising events, like the Dinner and a Show that took place last month, the youth of College Park are able to go on these amazing trips. Thank you for your support! To learn more about Youth Missions, click here. To see where we went on our most recent mission trip, click here.
