Endowment Fund
Bethany’s Endowment Fund is a unique opportunity to share the many gifts which God has entrusted to you and your family. The board-directed fund serves to receive bequests, planned gifts, and other special gifts, and to help those gifts accumulate and grow through investment. The income earned is used to support the mission and ministry of our congregation and the Christian Church. Including Bethany in your planning means your stewardship will give again and again, year after year.
How You Can Make A Gift
You can continue to be a part of Bethany Lutheran’s mission into the future by making a gift to the Endowment Fund. Your gift may take any of the following forms:
- Wills or bequests
- Trusts
- Life insurance benefits
- Annuities
- Securities
- Real estate
- Cash
A member of the Fund committee will be more than willing to explain in detail these and other ways you can participate. Planned gifts, in many instances, may also benefit you financially while you live

Legacy Lane
The Endowment Fund Board sponsors the project Legacy Lane as a tribute to yesterday, today and tomorrow. Pavers may be engraved with tributes of love, honor, and grace. Commemorate weddings, baptisms, confirmations and many other milestones with an engraved paver. You may also consider purchasing paver(s) as gifts to celebrate and pay tribute to special people and events.
Installed pavers may be viewed on Legacy Lane leading to and from the Bell Tower. Each paver is 4” X 8” and can be engraved with a personal message for $175 per paver. A duplicate gift paver may be purchased for an additional $35.
The congregation elects people to serve on this committee, whose purpose is to oversee the investments and disbursements of the Fund as provided in the endowment fund committee bylaws.
Current board members are:
Mike Miller (Financial Secretary)
