Online Gifts & Payments Thank
you for your desire to support the mission and ministries of
Incarnation through your financial stewardship. Stewardship is grateful
living. It involves the grateful and responsible management and use of
all of God’s creation, including the wise management of our finances
and generous sharing of our finances for the mission of Christ through
our church.
There are a number of ways to give your gift. In
addition to sharing your offering during worship, you have the option
of signing up for an automated giving program online,
making a one time Online Gift/Donation, or by planned giving to the Endowment
Fund. The descriptions below match our standard giving categories on the Online Donation form. Program specific payments are also available as indicated on the form.
Congregational Ministries
is Incarnation’s general operating budget. It is the on-going ministry
of the congregation including staff salaries, program resources,
worship, and our benevolence to ministries beyond Incarnation through
our ELCA, St. Paul Synod, Lutheran Social Servies, and other mission partners. It funds our daily ministry throughout the year.
CALLED TO BE A GIFT is the current financial campaign, to pay down the mortgage on the building.
Holy Days include Wednesdays in Lent, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Memorials
are gifts to the church in the name of anyone who has passed away. The
pastoral staff uses these funds as needed for special projects and
church improvements, including purchasing new paraments for the worship
spaces.
Endowment Fund
provides additional resources, apart from regular giving, for the
enhancement of the mission and vision of Incarnation Church. The
special feature of this fund is that the contributions are never spent;
only the invested earnings are used each year. A contribution to the
Incarnation Endowment Fund is a gift that keeps giving every year to
complement Incarnation’s ministries. Many gifts are to
the Endowment Fund in memory, similar to memorial gifts. The interest
from the fund is used to fund scholarships and special requests. For more information about the Endowment Fund, click here.
