What is a non cash contribution

My church is classifying my contributions made by check as "Non-cash contributions" and this seems incorrect. What is the IRS's definition of "non-cash"?

Non-cash contributions are gifts of property with no restrictions placed on them. Examples would be clothes, books, dishes given to Goodwill. Also such things as cars or art given to a church or charitable organization for their use or sale.

A check is cash equivalent, in other words the same as cash.
