Mission Endowment
Contact: Chuck C | Email | 360-491-2052
The purpose of the St Mark Mission Endowment Fund is to fund mission work here at home, regionally, and around the world above and beyond programs supported through regular offerings. The Endowment Fund is another form of Christian stewardship and becomes an ongoing legacy that is maintained for providing funds for worthwhile programs. Each year the Endowment Committee allocates 4 to 6 percent of the value of the fund to support projects or programs that may not otherwise be feasible using regular stewardship programs. Contributions can be made to the Endowment Fund at any time by simply designating an amount in Sunday donations; establishing a bequest in one’s will or living trust; or a number of other mechanisms. Anyone wanting more information can contact any member of the Endowment Committee.
