“We believe that we are the hands and feet of God in this world, so out of gratitude we give from the heart.  We are called to bless as we have been blessed.”

Giving FAQs

  • Of high importance is supporting regional and international ministries of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) as well as local charities that we have a deep connection with. We also receive directed donations for world and local hunger, global missions, and those in need in our own community. The largest portion of our budget is used to maintain our church building and pay salaries of pastors and staff so that we have the infrastructure to support worship, youth and adult education, and our many other ministries areas. Our church budget can be found in the last Annual Report.

  • The Servants’ Song newsletter, Weekly Notes email and Sunday Bulletin highlight many needs of the church and community.  If you are still in doubt, the Stewardship Committee can assist you in finding a way to use your gifts.

  • This is a very personal question, and may vary from year to year based on what’s happening in your life. Give from your heart in response to the gifts God has given you. Consider how much of a difference you can make by being generous with your time and money.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
