The Mount Olive Lutheran Church Foundation
On
June 6, 1972, the Foundation was established as an endowment
to ensure that generations yet unborn would benefit from our church’s
vibrant ministries. The Foundation’s sole purpose is to support
the ministry of Mount Olive Lutheran Church.
As a legal entity separate from the church, the Foundation has
its own articles of incorporation, bylaws, and board of directors.
Since its inception, the Foundation has distributed over $150,000
to support various programs at the church, including youth trips,
stained glass window restoration, Chapel Lounge renovation, nursery,
building repair fund, general ministries, neighborhood ministries,
and the Mount Olive Neighborhood Action Committee (MONAC).
The Christus Rex Society
Christus Rex, or “Christ the King,” declares that Jesus
Christ is truly the central focus of our lives as Christians. Members
of The Christus Rex Society have provided for the Foundation through
a current gift of stock, cash or mutual fund shares, or through
a deferred gift such as a will provision, charitable gift annuity,
charitable remainder trust, life insurance policy, or IRA or 401(k)
beneficiary designation. These individuals recognize the important
role that Mount Olive plays in spreading Christ’s message
in our community and beyond.
Representing The Christus Rex Society is the eternal flame located
in Mount Olive’s sanctuary, honoring the memory of Pastor
Herbert J. Mueller, brother of Ruth Manz. Like this flame, the gifts
and commitments of the Society’s members will enable Mount
Olive’s ministry to burn brightly for years to come.
