The purpose of the Living Trust Fund is for the Stewardship of accumulated assets and as an important way for both individual donors and the Congregation to grow in God’s grace.  The Fund is for enhancing the life and mission of the church above and beyond what could be done through the annual operating budget.  The Fund was established by the Congregation in 1935.

Christian Stewardship involves the faithful management of all gifts God has given to his congregation which encompass time, talent and money.  Financial Stewardship is not restricted to current income and use but is also concerned with the proper handling of accumulated, inherited and appreciated resources.

Christians can give from their accumulated assets to the work of the Church in a variety of ways: bequests in wills, assignments of life insurance, transfers of real and personal property such as cash, stocks and bonds, real estate and gift annuities. How such gifts are accepted and managed is the responsibility of those elected by the congregation to manage the Fund.

As it is most important that any gifts received be managed in accordance with the donor’s wishes, it is strongly recommended that the donor contact the Church Office to discuss how the intended gift is to be used. A Living Trust Fund Trustee would be pleased to provide assistance in this regard. All information received/discussed would be treated confidentially.
We are so grateful for the gifts given through the years, and any gifts that might be given, as we seek to carry out the ministry God has for us in this congregation, now and in the future.
