Endowment Fund

In 2022, the Endowment program was blessed to give $9929 in gifts to various causes which extend beyond our church walls. We are happy to report the Endowment program has become more visible in the community and look forward to continued growth within the ministry.

Endowment Team Mission Statement:

The mission of the Endowment Fund Team is to encourage, receive, and administer gifts in a manner consistent with the loyalty and devotion to our Lord as expressed by the donors to enhance the outreach of HTLC apart from the general operations of the congregation. The Endowment Fund is a perpetual gift that distributes only the income each year. Income distributions benefit:

Evangelism
Missions
Youth Ministry
Local Benevolence
Special Needs of the Church

The Endowment Team meets quarterly to review grant requests. The next meeting is Monday, February 13.

Please submit grant requests at least two week prior to the meeting.
