Giving at White Lake United Methodist Church for Now and the Future
At White Lake United Methodist Church (WLUMC), your giving fuels meaningful ministry—helping us share God’s love, serve our neighbors, and grow together in faith. We offer several ways to make giving easy and accessible, whether you are with us in Sunday worship or connecting from home.
Any financial gift, large or small, plays a part in transforming lives by expanding God’s work in our community and beyond. Thank you for partnering with us to make a lasting difference. Each contribution goes toward making our vision a reality.
Your gift will be added to the general operating fund unless you designate the funds to support an area of interest to you. You may also split your gift to support both the general fund and your area of interest.
GivePlus (Vanco)
Online giving through GivePlus is as easy as sending a text message. Simply follow these steps. It is secure, easy, and convenient.
Endowment Fund
The White Lake United Methodist Church has an Endowment Fund which was started in 1996 with two bequests. It is a permanent fund from which annually accrued earnings may be used to provide grant money for programs, missions, and other needs not covered by the church’s general fund. Each year local church and community organizations can apply for a portion of these funds. Contributions to this fund will keep it growing and available for future generations.
