Victory Lutheran Foundation

Vision Statement

The Victory Lutheran Foundation provides a means for the faithful members and friends of Victory Lutheran Church to leave a lasting legacy through an endowment.  The endowment exists to enhance the current and future ministries, outreach, and service of the Victory Lutheran Church community.  The Foundation encourages our passionate friends to make strategic financial decisions that reflect their love for God and their support for Christ's eternal mission in the world.

Goals

1. To educate and equip givers to actively link their faith, values, and finances in a stewardship-based legacy.

2. To generate enthusiasm and support for the Foundation by effectively communicating with the congregation.

3. To provide stewards with the tools and resources necessary to effectively give depth to their faithful vision and to accomplish their goals.

4. To faithfully administer the  Victory Lutheran Church Foundation funds to accomplish our ministries, outreach, and service.
