As disciples of Christ, our giving reflects the relationship we have with God who has blessed us and has entrusted us as stewards of His gifts. When we give, we can be Christ’s light in the world, and in that giving, our relationship with God also is transformed. As we seek to develop the values of regular and intentional giving, we encourage online giving to make the process as convenient as possible. 


If you'd prefer another way to give or information on leaving a legacy, check out the options below.

Online Giving

Online giving is a convenient and secure way to give to Good Shepherd. Gifts may be given to the general fund or designated for a specific fund, and may be one-time or recurring. To make a gift in honor/memory of someone, please include a note in the memo line of your donation. Have questions about online giving? Learn more.

Contributions of Stock or Mutual Fund Shares

Some households find that it is easy and tax-efficient to make donations of appreciated securities (securities held for more than one year). Good Shepherd is happy to accommodate these contributions. Since the bank is unable to identify a securities’ donor, please send your name, name of the security, number of shares and how you wish your contribution to be used (i.e. Youth Programs, Organ Fund, etc.) to Good Shepherd's Finance Manager, Sean Allen (finance@gslchurch.org). The church’s General Fund is the default election if specific instructions are not received.

Leaving a Legacy of Lasting Love

  • The Endowment Fund - The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Endowment Fund provides opportunities for Christian Stewardship involving faithful management of perpetuity and non-perpetuity gifts. The distribution of the gifts is for the sole purpose of enhancing the ministries of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and is not available to supplement the operating budget. Get information on the Endowment Grant application process here.
  • Specify gifts of money, securities, real or personal property, insurance policies or annuities, or deferred gifts through wills and other estate planning. 
  • Leave an unrestricted specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. 
  • Utilize assets (e.g., stocks, bonds, real estate, art and jewelry) for your charitable gift. Such gifts may provide tax savings. 
  • Name a Good Shepherd ministry as a beneficiary of your IRA/ pension plan or insurance policy. 
  • Leave a restricted gift to a specific need that you foresee for Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. 

God has given each of us the same opportunity – to build a foundation of faith for generations that follow. We will not be remembered by what we have accumulated, only by what we share as a lasting legacy of faith. There is no greater joy than knowing you have made a positive difference with your life – that you are leaving a legacy of lasting love. If you are interested in leaving a legacy gift or need more information, please contact the church office at (919) 848-1573.
