The mission of the Norman Lutheran Church Foundation is to further and foster the kingdom of Jesus Christ in the Norman Lutheran Church and its surrounding communities.  To that end, the Foundation will be awarding annual grants to qualified applicants to fufill its mission.

​

The Norman Lutheran Church Foundation will award annual grants to the church, its members, and the community.  Some anticipated examples include:

​

• camp sponsorships

• youth conference sponsorships

• sponsoring community church and youth activities

• mission trips

• support for the Kindred Area Ministerial Association (KAMA)

• church and community support

• service projects

• and more!

The Norman Lutheran Church Foundation was created in 2022 from the proceeds of the sale of the Norman Lutheran Church parsonage.

​

In 1976, the congregation had a vision to build a parsonage to provide a safe, comfortable place for a pastor to live and work.  The parsonage served as a home, parish office, and meeting place, including for confirmation, church council meetings, marriage counseling, choir practice, and more. 

​

Continuing the legacy of the congregation's investment in the church, the money from the sale of the parsonage has been invested to grow and help spread the mission of Jesus through our church and community by utilizing these annual grants in creative ways.

The Norman Lutheran Church Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization and your donation will be tax deductible. Your generous gift to the Foundation helps spread and fulfill the mission of Jesus Christ by making grant dollars available for use by organizations and individuals right here in our church and in the Kindred community.

​

There are many ways you can give to support the Foundation and grow your donation for the future:

​

• give in memory of a loved one

• special gifts during the holidays

• end of the year giving

• give in honor of someone for confirmation or baptism

• leave a legacy through estate planning
