Support our ministry,
and be upheld as you serve.
Giving is one way we live out our faith and support the mission of Jerusalem Lutheran Church. As faithful stewards, we share our resources to worship, serve, and reach others with God’s love—now and in the future. Below are resources to help guide you in every aspect of your stewardship and giving.
Support Our Mission
Giving is one way we live out our faith and support the mission of Jerusalem Lutheran Church. As faithful stewards, we share our resources so that together we can worship, serve, and reach others with God’s love. Your generosity helps make this ministry possible.
Jerusalem Endowment & Trust Fund
The Jerusalem Endowment & Trust Fund was established by the congregation in 2000 to aid in funding the future gospel ministry at Jerusalem.
WELS Christian Giving Counselors
The Wisconsin Synod provides the services of Christian Giving Counselors free of charge. These counselors offer help and guidance to WELS members who are interested in planning their financial future.

Guidance For Giving
James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
God has been faithful and generous to each of us. We pray that He moves your heart to give generously to His ministry in return. Giving takes many forms. Your time and talents are gifts from God — and returning them to His work is just as meaningful as any monetary contribution.
If God has blessed you with financial resources and a cheerful heart, we invite you to give to His ministry at Jerusalem Lutheran Church and School in one of two ways:
​
Regular Giving — Support our ongoing ministry as we preach the Gospel and serve our congregation.
Expansion Project — Help us grow our church and school so we can reach more families, children, and members of our community.
Regular Giving
The regular church giving page accepts online offerings via credit card and debit card. Online giving incurs a 3% processing fee for the church, and if you choose, you can consider giving a few additional dollars to help our church cover it.
Expansion Project Giving and Faith Promise/Pledges
The Expansion Project Giving and Faith Promise/Pledges page uses a different site from the regular giving page to separate the offerings for this purpose. It incurs a 3% processing fee on each credit card transaction and a 1% fee on each ACH transaction. This giving page also lets you cover the processing fee. We encourage you to cover the processing fee and use ACH transactions rather than credit card transactions to avoid higher fees.
As faithful stewards of the many blessings God has entrusted to us, we are always looking for ways to encourage and equip our congregation in Christian giving and financial stewardship.
​
Jerusalem Lutheran is considering inviting a WELS Christian Giving Counselor to offer a congregational presentation on biblical stewardship topics, including charitable giving, wills, estate planning, and other Christian giving opportunities. We are also interested in knowing whether members would value confidential, one-on-one visits with a Christian Giving Counselor. These personal consultations are provided at no cost and with no obligation.
​
We invite every member to complete the attached survey. Your responses will help us determine the level of interest and guide us in planning resources that will best serve our church family. On the survey, you can indicate your interest in a congregational presentation, a personal visit, and the stewardship topics you would like to learn more about.
​
Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your feedback. We pray these opportunities will be a blessing to our congregation as we continue to honor God with the gifts He has entrusted to us.
