Mission Endowment Fund — Immanuel Lutheran Church Los Altos

 

Mission Endowment Fund

In 1992, Immanuel Lutheran Church established the Mission Endowment Fund to be a permanent fund that supports the mission outreach and ministries of our church. Through the contributions of generous donors, the fund provides a sustainable source of income, ensuring that our church can continue to serve future generations.

 

Community outreach

Projects that serve the local community and synod and extend our church’s mission. This could include grants to ELCA, seminaries, colleges, or students attending such schools, social service agencies, institutions and agencies to which this congregation relates, and to special programs designed for those persons in our parish area who are in spiritual and/or economic need.

Facility Improvement

Enhancements to our church facilities to support worship and community activities. Examples: capital improvements, debt reduction, or an Immanuel Lutheran Church building program.

Missionary support

Funding for missions and outreach programs both locally and abroad. Examples include new congregational development in North America for the ELCA, professional leadership, educational ministries, global mission, ecumenism, evangelism, social ministries, and capital financing.
