The Enduring Gifts Program


Pastor
Touching lives and making a difference in the world and community in which we live is the desire of nearly all people. Many people want to know that the life that God has given them has made an impact on the lives of those around us. The Enduring Gifts Program of St. Peter's Lutheran Church can enable you to fulfill your desire to Leave a Legacy of Ministry and to touch the lives of people well into the future and after you have entered your eternal rest. Your gifts to one or more of the four special funds described here can enable you and your church to support projects at the local, synod and church-wide levels. Your gifts can be of any amount and may be given in a variety of ways: share a gift from your present monetary assets, by a gift of real estate, a certificate of deposit, the assignment of life insurance proceeds, through an IRA or through a bequest in your will. If you have questions or wish to discuss ways you can make a gift, please contact me.
