Atonement Endowment Fund

Leaving a Legacy for the Future

Mission and Ministry Now

On-going giving to the Lutheran Church of the Atonement has and continues to allow us to:

  • Gather in Worship

  • Minister through Word and Sacrament

  • Teach Young and Old

  • Visit the Sick and Shut-in

  • Comfort the Dying

  • Assist Those in Need

​

Mission and Ministry in the Future

The Atonement Endowment Fund looks forward by setting aside funds to enhance God’s mission for our church in the future.  Gifts and bequests to the Fund are invested and grow over time to have a sizable pool of money from which a portion can be withdrawn to support the specific purposes of the Fund in these vital areas:

  • Parish Nursing and Wellness

  • Christian Education

  • Worship and Music

  • Social Ministry

  • Professional Development

  • Capital Improvements



You can contribute to the Endowment Fund through your estate and through immediate gifts.  Please see the Resources pages for some ways you can support the Fund now and in the future.

History

The Endowment Fund was established many years ago but mainly remained dormant until 2012, when a committee reviewed and revived the Fund.  Details of the Fund are available here.   

Annual disbursements from the Fund have supported various things, including:

  • Lutheran Summer Music Program

  • Continuing Education Conference for a Pastor

  • Parish Nurse Program

  • Organ Repair

​

As the Fund grows, larger disbursements will be possible.
