Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to give the first part of our resources to God as an expression of honor and gratitude.
Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. (Proverbs 3:9–10)

Giving Stock
Many of you choose to give to Good Shepherd through stock sales or IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions. Thank you! Often, when the church receives these gifts, they come in the form of a check with your broker’s or financial institution’s name, without any indication of the donor’s name. If you are planning to give in this manner, please contact the church office to give a “heads up” notice to be on the lookout for the gift. Otherwise, we may be unable to assign your name to the gift.
Good Shepherd Trust Fund
There are various ways you can give to the Good Shepherd Trust Fund.
- A gift to the Permanent Endowment Trust will benefit the annual church budget. Each year the Permanent Endowment Fund distributes its earnings into the church budget.
- A gift to the Endowment Trust Fund.Each year the trust distributes its earnings to visionary needs and projects inside and outside of our church family.
- It is possible to make a gift to either fund by making a direct cash contribution or to use a Charitable Gift Annuity.Charitable Gift Annuities are a way to make a gift, and also receive income back from your gift. Based on current rates, you would earn these rates for the rest of your life. If you are interested in making a Charitable Gift Annuity please call the church office and they will put you in touch with someone to assist you.
