Holy Cross Lutheran Church has always had a special vision for serving the community and the world. God has blessed us with an abundance of resources. For this we are truly thankful. We also give thanks for those who have remembered the importance of our congregation’s ministries in planned giving from their estates. We rejoice in their generous gifts to the Mission Endowment Fund, established in 2007 in order to “Serve in response to God’s love to meet human needs…”
Why Have an Endowment Fund?
The funds contributed to the Holy Cross Mission Endowment Fund are invested to create continuing income. You gift will make a difference and provide a lasting expression of your Christian faith. A committee, elected by the congregation, meets quarterly to serve the best interest of the fund.
Fund Income Uses
Income from the fund will be used to support non budgeted church missions, such as:
- Ministry opportunities of Holy Cross Lutheran Church, i.e. youth or senior activities, etc.
- Community outreach and ministry, i.e. food pantry, Veterans organizations, etc.
- ELCA Global missions, i.e. Lutheran World Relief, Lutheran Disaster Response, World Hunger, etc.
