Simply Giving We use a service called Simply GivingŪ to arrange scheduled gifts from your checking, savings, debit or credit card. This is a reliable, safe way to share your gifts through planned giving. Because your gift is given consistently, you won't need to play "catch-up" at year-end or worry about forgotten checkbooks or missed Sunday offerings. Because of your planned giving and ongoing stewardship, Trinity Lutheran Church benefits from steady, more predictable revenues throughout the year. This helps Trinity better meet its financial goals and development objectives. To participate, download and complete the Simply GivingŪ form and return it to the church office during regular business hours, by email (see email address below) or by mail to the address shown above.
In Person - you may bring your gifts directly to Trinity - click on Our Staff for office hours, or on Worship Services to see our Sunday service schedule.
By Mail - We provide
a packet of envelopes
for each member every two months. An envelope
is provided with our address on it so you may mail your contribution
to the church. If you do not have envelopes, the address for the
church is provided at the top of this page.
You may designate how you would like your donation to be used. If there is a designation, funds will be applied as directed. If no direction is given, our Financial Gifts Ministry will hold the gift in our Bequest Fund until the most appropriate use to meet the wishes of the person donating the funds can be determined. Funds held in the Bequest Fund for more than 6 months will be divided equally in our Mission Endowment Fund and our new Facilities Endowment Fund.
