What Does My Giving Support?
General Fund
This is our primary fund and covers operating costs, building expenses, staff salaries, mission support, benevolence, and utilities. Unless otherwise stated your giving will go to the General Fund.
Special Funds
Gifts can also be directed to special funds such as: Women of the ELCA; CLC Foundation or special building improvement projects.
Camperships & Scholarships
Christ Lutheran offers financial support for member families whose children/youth need extra help paying for retreats, field trips, and camps.
What is Stewardship / Generosity?
Stewardship and generosity are not just about paying the bills or giving away your money.
Stewardship and generosity are about how the people of CLC can work together to do God’s work. We can live out God’s call to love God and love our neighbor generously.
We are called to give generously of what God has first given us. This brochure outlines the ways you can support the overall mission of Christ Lutheran through generous giving. Generosity can change everything!
We hope you will give prayerful consideration to making both a financial and volunteer pledge this year in support of this special place we call Christ Lutheran.
Every pledge helps us increase our spiritual growth programs for members, expand our children and youth ministries and allows us to have a greater impact on our community and the world.

Is My Offering Tax Deductible?
