LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (September 9, 2025) — What if we could master plan our churches the way commercial businesses and many non-profit organizations do? What if we could anticipate our needs for ministry and facilities and staff and set aside funds that would earn interest income to support our mission and ministry for the long-term?
The answer is we can... and many churches do.
Church endowments provide the income to maintain church buildings, generate funds for mission work or enhance other ministries. A properly structured endowment program can help you secure the financial future of your church. Endowments have provided a major source of funding for many institutions in our society for years.
Are you interested in learning more about how an endowment program could benefit your local church? Do you already have an endowment program but would like to know how you can organize the management of it within your current leadership structure? Are you trying to grow your endowment and looking for inspiration and ideas? Join the Foundation at First United Methodist Church of Rogers for all things endowments on Thursday, October 30, 2025.
Topics include:
- Endowment 101
- Endowments & the Church Structure
- How Endowments Really Help the Church
This seminar is provided at no cost to participants. Come lunch with us from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Get information from experts about how endowments fit into a church’s leadership structure, and hear from Arkansas churches that currently benefit from an endowment ministry.
Registration is now open, and will close October 20 at 4:00 p.m.
