We welcome everyone into all aspects of congregational life and leadership: all gender and sexual expressions and identities, all ages, all races and ethnicities, all economic and marital situations, all physical and mental abilities. We come as we are.
The purpose of the Endowment Fund “is to enhance the work of the church by establishing and supporting ministries and stewardship opportunities additional to and apart from the general operation of the congregation.” Only the interest of the fund is used to support church programs. The principle is left to accrue interest. The Endowment Committee asks that when planning your estate that you consider a bequest to Gloria Dei on behalf of the Endowment Fund.
