Ongoing Financial Support

Zion Lutheran Church is grateful for any contributions from our membership and extended community.  Donations may be given on Sunday mornings at worship, dropped off at the church office, made through your bank (if that service is available to you), or online by clicking below. Thank you for giving.

Memorials

Gifts to the Memorial Fund provide financial assistance to our local ministry in special and lasting ways. In the past the Memorial Func has purchased such items as the

• stained glass windows
• conference table in the library
• benches outside the Education Building
• banners for worship services
• paraments for the altar

All money donated to the Memorial Fund is spent rather than being invested long term.  Contributions may be made to not only memorialize or honor loved ones, but also to commemorate a special event or occasion. Names of loved ones being memorialized are recorded in the Memorial Book maintained by the Trust Committee.  With any donations to the Memorial Fund, please be sure to indicate who or what is being honored, and if you have a special area of ministry in which you would like your donation used.  You may drop off your donation at the church office, mail it to Zion, or use your bank’s e-check service (if it is available to you). Thank you!

Endowments

The Endowment Fund of Zion Lutheran Church was established for members and friends who want their congregation to have long term benefits from their gifts. The fund provides an opportunity for those who want to make a lasting charitable gift or bequeath a portion of their estate to the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Zion Lutheran Church.

Gifts to the Endowment Fund are invested permanently. Only earnings from the fund will be used to enhance Zion’s ministry. This means that an individual’s gifts will continue to enhance the mission of the church long after the gift has been made. The grand piano in our sanctuary is one example of a purchase made from the income of the Nora Matson Endowment.  If you would like to include the ministries of Zion Lutheran Church in your estate planning through a contribution to the Endowment Fund, please contact the church office.
