The St. Paul Legacy Fund

In order to be faithful stewards of the gifts God has given us, the St. Paul Legacy Fund was established in 2001. Thus endowment fund seeks to create a source of income to fund the ministry of St. Paul Church in the future. Through building this endowment fund, St. Paul Church will create a yearly stream of income to help our church accomplish its mission: to know Jesus and to make him known.

Members and friends may give to the Legacy Fund in many ways: gifts, donations of stock, bequests in a will, a gift of life insurance, a retirement plan gift, trusts and annuities.

Gifts received will be placed in the Legacy Fund. Income from the fund will be used to support various aspects of the ministry of St. Paul Church in this community and the world.
