Endowment

The Church at Horseshoe Bay exists to be the arms of Christ by sharing the Gospel in our community and in the wider world with love and compassion.

Participation in the church’s endowment fund offers a truly meaningful vehicle for you to play an even larger part in the life and vision of our church, both now and in the future.

Our Church’s Endowment Fund can:

  • Enhance our benevolence ministry;
  • Help support future facility expansions; and
  • Encourage us to be better stewards.

Endowment funds provide donors an opportunity to:

  • Make a permanent gift from lifetime assets;
  • Provide on-going support for a favorite church ministry; and
  • Leave a legacy that will be forever remembered at The Church at Horseshoe Bay.

Our Endowment Fund says:

We believe …
  • in the future of our church. 
  • in building a sense of permanence in what we do. 
  • in being good stewards as a church family. 
  • in providing ministries that were once only dreams. 
  • in continuing the heritage we enjoy for future generations.

Endowment FAQs

What kinds of gifts can be made to our endowment fund?

There are many types of gifts that could benefit our endowment fund. A few of them are:

  • Cash
  • Real estate
  • Personal property
  • Stocks and bonds
  • Life insurance
  • Planned Gifts

What makes this gift different?

The Endowment Fund allows a one-time gift to permanently and continuously impact the many ministries our church supports.  Our Church Board of Trustees entrusts the Endowment Fund Board to prayerfully execute our Mission and Vision statements with the distribution of such earnings.

Is my gift too small?

Because all gifts are pooled in the fund, they have a cumulative effect making even the smallest gift significant.  Every gift contributes to the overall growth of the principal amount, which compounds the return on investments.

What makes this gift different from other forms of church giving?

Our endowment fund is a permanent fund to perpetuate the life of the church. The Endowment Board meets at least annually to distribute and allocate Fund Income as of the first day of the current year. 

Are permanent Endowment Fund gifts tax deductible?

Yes. Your gifts to The Church at Horseshoe Bay Endowment Fund are deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes.  Bequests, stock, gifts and other donations of value are generally exempt from Federal Estate and Gift taxes.
