TUMC ENDOWMENT FUND

plant a seed,

grow a legacy

Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, and the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:1-9

BUILD A LEGACY

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21

The TUMC Endowment Fund is a partnership between TUMC Austin members and the church itself based on mutual stewardship. When you support the Endowment Fund, you are acting as a steward to and for your church. The Endowment Board of Directors works alongside experts from the Texas Methodist Foundation to grow your legacy gifts over time, securing TUMC’s presence for generations to come.

FOSTER GROWTH

On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
”My Hope is Built,” UMH #368

The mission of the United Methodist Church is to create disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Our endowment fund provides a self-sustaining foundation upon which discipleship may be established and grow in the spaces of mission work, community outreach, worship gatherings, faith formation, and congregational care for this generation and future generations to follow.

GENERATE ABUNDANCE

From the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets.
John 6:13

We are a generous faith community of servant-hearted leaders that have been called to build the Kingdom of God here and now. You give generously of your time, presence, and resources to support our operating budget, ministry programs, and missional presence locally and abroad. As a legacy gift, your endowment is a gift of abundance that empowers this church to continue nourishing the bodies and spirits of its members, the local community, and our mission partners throughout the world.

FOR THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.
”Blest be the Tie that Binds,” UMH #557

The Endowment Fund helps maintain this church’s footprint as a lovely, iconic structure in the heart of the Tarrytown neighborhood. Since our founding in the 1940’s, we have grown and become a welcoming place for worship, fellowship, learning, and service. With a healthy endowment fund, we have a strong foundation to maintain and continue to grow our presence for generations to come.

PROVIDE SECURITY

His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.
Daniel 7:14

The Christian Church has survived for millennia and will continue to do so as the body of Christ in the world. Your legacy gift is a faithful response to the belief that God is eternal, and that through Christ, the church will endure.
