St. Philip Lutheran Legacy Endowment Fund & Planned Giving
Celebrating 70 Years of Faithfulness - Preparing for the Next 70
For nearly 70 years, St. Philip Lutheran Church has been a place where faith is nurtured, lives are shaped, and Christ's love is shared. The ministry we enjoy today exists because of the faithful generosity of those who came before us.
As we look to the future, we invite you to consider how your faith can continue to impact generations to come through the St. Philip Lutheran Legacy Endowment Fund.
The Legacy Fund is a permanent endowment established by the Finance Committee and Congregational Council to provide long-term support for the ministries and mission of St. Philip Lutheran Church.
Gifts to the Legacy Fund are invested carefully, with only a portion of the earnings used to support ministry. This allows your gift to continue making an impact for years to come.
What is Planned Giving?
Planned giving - sometimes called legacy giving - is the intentional decision to include charitable gifts in your financial or estate plans.
Common planned gifts include:
Gifts through a will or trust
Beneficiary designations on retirement accounts or life insurance policies
Gifts of appreciated assets
Charitable gift annuities or trusts
Memorial and endowment gifts
Planned giving is not just for the wealthy. Anyone can create a lasting legacy of faith through thoughtful stewardship.
Why Consider a Legacy Gift?
A planned gift can:
Strengthen ministry for future generations
Support worship, education, outreach, and care ministries
Reflect gratitude for God's blessings
Create a lasting testimony of faith
Help ensure St. Philip remains a vibrant congregation for years to come
