Endowment Giving
The MPLC Mission Endowment Fund supports our church’s outreach beyond its regular operating budget. It's a way to honor loved ones or create a lasting legacy of giving that supports God's mission and the mission of our congregation.
Giving is Personal. Endowment Giving is not designed to replace givers' weekly/monthly current and benevolence offerings. Rather, the Give Now, Give Later and the Give and Receive opportunities described below suggest different and creative ways to provide resources for the future life of Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church through the MPLC Mission Endowment Fund.
Ways to Give
What does the future hold?
What will Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church look like in another ten, twenty, or even fifty years? Contributions made through the MPLC Mission Endowment Fund help provide for the ongoing mission of our congregation's future.
