Estate Giving

In 2024, a committee was activated to vision what Planned and Estate Giving could become for Christ Lutheran Church. A knowledgeable and dedicated Finance and Stewardship Team was formed (FAST).  The ELCA Foundation has been a partner in the process. Our aim is to have Here for Good inspire support for future generations as it does for our work today. 

At the 2025 annual meeting, the congregation learned that FAST is designing a program to promote, accept and administer planned and estate gifts; creating donor legacies to support Christ Lutheran Church now and in perpetuity. The Council is participating fully in the plan, and we are pleased to roll out the Here for Good Legacy Leaders and Estate Program for Christ Lutheran Church.  

Grateful for God’s gifts and a congregation steeped in generosity and grace, we invite you to leave a legacy through your estate pan. Current contributions give us the opportunity to be Here for Good on a daily basis. Planning your Legacy of Giving will help Christ Lutheran Church to be Here for Good in perpetuity. Your thoughtful estate plan also supports your family and provides a road map for distribution of your assets.

Together, we are Here for Good. Through God’s grace, we offer an abundance of goodness to our communities. Your participation will help Christ Lutheran Church make a difference for generations to come. Perhaps you have already included CLC in your giving plans. Perhaps you have just started thinking about it. Wherever you are at, let’s have a conversation about what you want your personal Here for Good legacy to be.
