GUIDE TO GIVING

Giving matters in ways that extend far beyond financial contributions. At its core, true giving is rooted in a generous spirit. The meaningful work we undertake could not be accomplished without the dedication of individuals like you. We are all stewards of God’s grace, entrusted with the responsibility of caring for something greater than ourselves. Stewardship is about nurturing, preserving, and cherishing what truly matters—not for personal gain, but for the benefit of others, both now and for future generations.

Romans 12:6-8
“According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: If prophecy, use it according to the proportion of one’s faith; if service, in service;
if teaching, in teaching; if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, with generosity; leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness”. 

How to Give

  • VOLUNTEER
    Volunteer to assist during church services or help out at Trinity’s events. It’s quite easy! Just sign up online or contact our church office.

  • SHARE YOUR TALENTS
    Let us know what interests you have. We can guide you to the ministries, committees, or events that best suit your interests and connect you with like-minded individuals.

  • OFFERINGS
    Each calendar year, make a financial pledge and plan your giving. Doing so can ease any burdens and ensure you follow through with your intentions. Offerings can be made in person at weekly worship services, online through your Breeze account, or mailed to our church office.

  • SPECIAL GIFTS
    Don’t forget about Trinity Lutheran Church in your wills, living trusts, charitable annuities, and beneficiary designations. For those over 70 years of age, check out tax-free IRA donations.

Where to Give

  • GENERAL FUND
    The general fund supports the day-to-day operations of the church, including utilities, insurance, departmental budgets, technology, payroll, and benevolences. It can also be used for any non-budgeted expenses that may arise.

  • BUILDING FUND
    The building fund aids Trinity’s mortgage loan from the expansion of our new sanctuary. Any offerings made to the building fund are strictly used for paying down the principal of our loan.

  • ENDOWMENT FUNDS
    Trinity has two endowment funds—the Education Endowment Fund and the Mission Endowment Fund. Both funds are the foundations for academic scholarships, grants, and mission work (local, national, and global).

  1. Community Outreach
  2. Families and Youth
