Giving
Your support through giving empowers us to continue our mission of loving our community well through friendship with Jesus.
Here is some information about giving to Friendship Celebration Lutheran Church
Do I need to create a login?
We recommend creating a login. Though it is not necessary, it will help you keep track of your giving. Without having your information on file, we can not give you a year-end giving statement.
What if the project I want to give to is not listed?
We appreciate the desire to specify funds. If you want to give somewhere that is not specified, you can give to the general category or bring in cash or check with a memo for where you want it to go.
If where you want it to go is an organization, like Treasured Home or Camp Perkins, we recommend giving directly to them.
Will my cash and checks be added to my giving record?
Yes! As long as you include your name with them when you give in person, it will all show up on your giving record.
Can I create a reoccurring gift?
Yes! Once you click the button, follow the prompts to create a reoccurring gift.
Early Childhood Development Team Updates
Ministry Expansion Information Meetings
The Early Childhood Development Team (ECDT) is excited to host two Ministry Expansion Information Meetings on Wednesday, May 14, and you are invited—whether you're a church member, preschool family, or just interested in what's happening in our community!
Join us at either 11:00 AM or 7:00 PM (each session will run 60–90 minutes) as the ECDT shares key insights gathered over the past 9+ months through parent surveys, MissionInsite reports, and local site visits. You’ll hear about the growing need for our preschool and facility expansion, and how we're working to better serve our members and the wider community. We’ll also share highlights from our recent meeting with Rev. Kris Kunkel of the Lutheran Church Extension Fund and share the exciting next steps toward launching a Ministry Expansion Campaign this fall.
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your heart for ministry—this is a conversation you won't want to miss! Note: Childcare will be available during the 7:00 PM meeting. Please contact DCE Tim Kaufmann if childcare is needed.
The Recent Work of the ECDT
The Early Childhood Development Team (ECDT) recently met with three architects from the renowned LKV Architect firm. Together, they shared ideas and discussed the needs for our new Early Childhood Center and expanded church facilities. A new, updated master campus plan is expected soon that will help shape the future of our community.
In another exciting development, the ECDT also sat down with Rev. Kris Kunkel from the Lutheran Church Extension Fund to take the first steps toward launching a Capital Campaign. This marks a major milestone as we work to support the growth and success of our programs for years to come.
As always, the ECDT is committed to evaluating the needs of our families and community, ensuring that our plans align with the values and aspirations of those we serve. If you’re passionate about being part of this important planning process, or if you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out to Jenny Coleman, Ron Bischoff, or Tim Kaufmann. Let’s continue building something great together!
