ENDOWMENT
An endowment is a gift of money or assets that is invested and used to provide ongoing financial support for a specific purpose. It is one way to sustain the mission of a church perpetually into the future.
Here at St. Paul there are four Endowment Funds managed by a independent committee tasked to oversee, protect, and distribute these funds.
​
The St. Paul Living Endowment Fund
This fund was established in 1989 with a bequest from Arthur Last. Gifts given to the congregation through the fund are invested in perpetuity. The income earned by such investments is used to further outreach, benevolent, and educational activities of the congregation as well as to provide for major improvements to the church building.
​
The David Lewis Memorial Scholarship for Youth Fund
This fund was established in 1999 with a bequest from the estate of the late Lenora M. Lewis. Allocation is at the Senior Pastor’s discretion to students pursuing degrees
.The Miriam and Robert Kish Memorial Fund
The fund was established in 2000 with a bequest of the late Miriam Kish and is intended to subsidize the organist position and the Music Ministry at St. Paul.
​
The Emergency/Long Term Property Fund
This fund was established by the church to have money available for longer term capital expenditures or emergency property needs.

We encourage giving to the Endowment Funds when planning gifts or doing estate planning. These funds provide ongoing support to the church and/or other benevolent requests. To learn how to participate, or if you have questions about any of the funds, please connect at
