How Do I.....?

Ask our staff how you can establish an endowment to support your church’s ministries or operations, scholarships for seminary or college students or any ministry you want to designate. Printed resources are available on topics including annuities, trusts, wills and bequests, using life insurance, property, stocks or cash to support ministries.

Pastors, associate pastors and lay members also are invited to get information about Finance Committee, stewardship and endowment trainings offered by Foundation staff. Pastors are invited to learn more about Capital Stewardship programs for their congregations.
