How you can help the ministry of University Lutheran Church and Campus Ministry
Online Giving. You can use Breeze to give one-time or schedule regular offerings from your bank account or charged to your credit card. Online giving is convenient, safe, and secure. Members have told us that appreciate that their financial gifts to the church continue even when they are out of town and aren’t able to be at a worship service. It’s is a way to help you achieve your stewardship plan for University Lutheran Church and Campus Ministry.
Checks. You can mail checks to University Lutheran Church, 340 E. 15th Street, Tempe, AZ 85281. If you would like your donation to be used for a specific ministry, such as Campus Ministry, please note it on your check.
Weekly Offerings. During our worship services, you can place your donation in a collection plate near the Sanctuary entrance. Special envelopes are available to members and regular visitors. Others can find envelopes in the back of the chairs and near the collection plate.
Alumni Club. Many of students that have graduated and entered successful careers have seen the value of help to maintain our mission through a monthly contribution using their credit cards. We suggest $10 per month throughout their continuing adult careers to support our mission for future generations.
Gifts From Congregations. Many congregations (Lutheran and non-Lutheran) have students attending Arizona State University or surrounding colleges and educational institutions. We’re so fortunate that many of these congregations with students here at our Campus Ministry also support the ministry through budgeted contributions made through their specific synods. These designated benevolences fund many projects for the students including retreats and mission trips.
Talents. Students, members, and surrounding congregations are all helping by rolling up their sleeves and pitching in. Food donations, cooking free meals for the students, offering to help with transportation, mentoring are all talents which are appreciated by our ministry.
Food Drive. Near the ushers table at the entrance to the sanctuary, a container is available to accept food donations. A few non-perishable items every week make a big difference for any local families. This food is then made available to the United Food Bank.
Donations to the Local Thrift Shops. The local thrift shops make grants available to the Synod which benefit our ministry. When thinking about replacing certain reusable items in your household, think about donating them to one of the following thrift shops.
- East Valley Lutheran Thrift Shop
- Hidden Treasurers
Thrivent Choice. Thrivent members can now designated University Lutheran Church and/or Lutheran Campus Ministry at ASU as their Choice partners.
Lefse Sales. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, students eagerly prepare Lefse for sale at local congregations, here at University Lutheran Church, and via the website.
