The Administrative Board is responsible for approving all expenditures from the Alive in the Spirit endowment fund. A sub-committee of the Administrative Board meets semi-annually in May and November to consider any possible recommendations.

Guidelines for such expenditures and a request form that church members may use to recommend endowment expenditures may be obtained from this list of documents in the left sidebar.

Endowment gifts to the church are what retirement funds are to an individual. The gifts are set aside for use in the future. This is a way to support Christian outreach in ways that may otherwise be impossible to achieve.

Endowment gifts are invested and later used, as directed by the Administrative Board, for thing other than day-to-day ministry and debt reduction.

The endowment fund of Shepherd of the Hills provides you with another opportunity to express your thankfulness for all the blessings that God has showered upon your family.

Gifts made to the endowment fund can, with God's blessing, build His kingdom through ministry at Shepherd of the Hills. The endowment fund also provides you an opportunity to engage in Christian stewardship beyond your time on this earth.

Consider a gift to the Alive in the Spirit endowment effort and you will be part of Shepherd of the Hills for many more years to come.
