 Giving Opportunities

NALC Operating Fund

Funds for the annual operations of the NALC are primarily provided by benevolence gifts from our member congregations, but individuals are encouraged to contribute as well.  These funds support a range of NALC activities, including outreach to congregations considering joining the NALC and assistance to congregations and pastors in the candidacy and call processes, as well as the NALC’s missions, ministry and operations staff.

NALC Great Commission Fund

This fund supports the missions and evangelism ministries of the NALC as we live out our commitment to be a “Mission-Driven” church body.  Grants from this fund are made for four primary purposes: (1) planting new mission congregations, (2) revitalizing and renewing existing NALC congregations, (3) training, support and continuing education of missional leaders, and (4) support for international missionaries and projects.

NALC Fund for Theological Education

This fund supports the NALC’s efforts to provide for faithful Lutheran theological education for its pastors, prospective pastors and laypeople.  Grants from this fund are made for a range of specific purposes, including scholarship support for seminarians, theological conferences and seminars, and support for Lutheran theologians teaching NALC students at non-Lutheran seminaries.

Ethiopian Church Relief Fund

This fund was established to help Christians in western and southwestern Ethiopia who experience persecution by Islamic radicals. The fund is a joint effort of the NALC, Lutheran CORE and Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ.

 Planned Giving and Bequests

Some members and friends of the NALC are choosing to provide for the long-term support of their church body through provisions in their wills.  Such gifts, called “bequests,” permit the donor to identify and support those ministries which best reflect his or her values and beliefs.  Should you wish to make a bequest for the support of the NALC in your will, the following is sample language which you can use:

[specify dollar amount or a percentage of the estate’s residual value] to the North American Lutheran Church, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation located at 3500 Mill Run Drive, Hilliard, OH 43026-7770, for the benefit of [the general operating fund of the North American Lutheran Church] or [specific fund or ministry]

If you have further questions, feel free to contact the NALC Treasurer at treasurer@thenalc.org.
