Giving

We believe that God has called us to share the Gospel and to share our resources. We are committed to making a difference in this world through our many active ministries and by supporting a variety of local, national and international ministries through our benevolence offering. Our congregational goal is to contribute at least 20% of our general offerings to outside ministries and to faithfully fund the ministries of our congregation, including providing seed money for new initiatives.

Planned Giving

By making a planned gift in your estate plan, you express your generosity in a meaningful way, perpetuate your values, and set an example for your family and friends. There are many ways you can leave a legacy. Your gift will inspire others and have an impact for years to come.

Contact Ainslee Ford if you have already named Christ Lutheran Church as a beneficiary in your Will or Trust or if you would like more information on estate planning.

Outside Ministries We Support

Sharing a significant portion of our operating budget in support of charitable organizations has been a valued practice and tradition at Christ Lutheran Church. For many years, we have dedicated 20% of our regular offerings to help organizations whose mission is to address the needs of those less fortunate both in our community and beyond. You will find that this high level of a benevolence percentage is unique among congregations and is part of what defines us at Christ Lutheran Church.

We are attracted to giving financial support to organizations in which our members are also active volunteers. The following is a list of charitable organizations that our congregation supports financially as well as through volunteer efforts. Click on the organization to learn about them.
