A Gift for the Generations

The Shepherd of the Lake Foundation is here to help you create your legacy and ensure the continuation of God's work through Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church. When you contribute to the Foundation, your donation will not be spent, but will be added to the principal balance of the Foundation. The investment earnings will then be used to further the ministry of Shepherd of the Lake for years to come.
