The St. Michael Foundation
Established in 1971, the St. Michael Lutheran Church Foundation allows the church to enhance the mission, outreach and ministry of the Congregation. By using only a portion of the annual earnings of the Congregation’s Endowment Fund, the Fund continues to grow and provide a permanent source of income to support the Church’s Christian outreach with a variety of special ministry opportunities. The Foundation Board consists of the Pastor and six elected officers of the church.
The Foundation has made over 100 awards totaling over $91,399 since 2006 to:
St. Michael youth, women and men programs
Small group ministry
Acts 1:8 mission support
Vacation Bible School
Seminarian support
Youth mission trips
World mission projects (i.e., Pack Away Hunger)
Ministry training and education
Church ministry needs to enhance our worship experience
