giving
Trinity is sustained by the generosity of its members and friends. Every gift, large or small, keeps this place alive, it pays our staff, keeps the lights on and the building heated, funds necessary repairs and improvements, and makes it possible for us to gather, worship, and serve week after week. In addition to general giving, you can also choose to direct your gift to that month’s special outreach, supporting causes ranging from local ministries to global efforts like ELCA World Hunger and Lutheran Disaster Response. You can find out what we’re supporting this month in our Glad Tidings, the weekly bulletin, or our email newsletter. Whether you’d like to give weekly, monthly, or make a one-time gift, there are a few simple ways to do so.

During Sunday worship, ushers pass collection plates for free will offerings. Envelopes are available in the pews if you’d like to designate your gift to a specific fund.
legacy giving
Trinity’s Endowment Fund was established to strengthen the congregation’s outreach and provide for extraordinary needs beyond our regular operating budget. Built over the years through the generosity of members, including gifts made through wills, trusts, and charitable gift annuities, the fund supports benevolence, scholarships, parish nursing, and capital improvements. If you are interested in including Trinity in your estate planning or learning more about giving opportunities through the Endowment, contact the church office or a member of the Endowment Committee.
