2025 News Update For Messiah Lutheran Church Endowment Fund
The fund was established in 2010 to receive gifts to use to further the growth, mission and ministry of Messiah.
The vision for this fund is to continue to grow and serve for many generations. Distributions from the fund are offered through grant requests for Educational Ministries, Capital Projects, Special Ministries and Evangelism.
In 2024 a grant was granted to fund grief share materials. February 2025 a grant was granted to subsidize the MI District Conference on Engaging Community. Available grant monies are calculated by using 10% of the prior year’s fund end balance. For 2025 we have available grant dollars of ~$15,400.00.
Please consider filling out a grant request form located in the Planned Giving holdout and return to the church office or contacting a member of the Planned Giving Board.

The Truth Project is here!
As Christians we are called to live life following Jesus. That means we need to have a Biblical worldview. Jackie Lack will be leading the transformative Bible Study The Truth Project. There are two options: Monday at 10am, and Monday evening at 6 pm.
The 12 week course continues April 21st. Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, “what is truth?” – we will examine “truth”, God, Science, History, Humanity, Society, culture and more. This class is sure to enlighten, impact, and challenge your daily walk with Christ through engaging videos and discussion. Invite friends and family. Sign up in the Lobby.

Let’s make a difference
Did you know that we have money set aside in the Elder’s Fund to assist others? When have a friend, neighbor or coworker who needs help say, “my church may be able to help you!” Then Messiah is partnering with you to be the hands and feet of Christ.
Join Jesus on His mission as together we make an eternal difference. If you know of a need, contact your elder or Pastor Mark.
