Stewardship
The goal of our Stewardship Ministry is to help us each strengthen our relationship with God through our actions. How do we use the TIME, TALENTS and TREASURE that God has entrusted to us? How do we become true disciples?

Stewardship is everything we think, say and do after we confess our faith that Jesus is the Son of God. As our faith grows, it follows that our lives will be changed; our thoughts and actions should change.

The intention of our Stewardship Ministry is to help us, as individuals and as a congregation, to strengthen our relationship with God by considering how we use what God has entrusted to us – our world, our time, our talents and our treasure.

The Stewardship Committee meets the second Monday of each month at 7:30 PM in the Augsburg Room. Read more about stewardship.

Memorial and Endowment
The Memorial/Endowment Committee administers the Memorial Fund and the Endowment Fund, which were established to receive gifts and donation from church members, family, and friends. Gifts received into the Memorial Fund may be immediately used as specifically requested by the giver or may be accumulated and used later to purchase needed items not covered under the Church’s general fund. In contrast, gifts to the Endowment Fund are added to principal and allowed to accumulate. The income generated is used for longer-term purposes, such as capital projects, scholarships for church-related education, and outreach for those in spiritual/economic need. A gift to the Endowment Fund is a gift that keeps on giving.
