Our Vision for Stewardship Ministry
Guided by God’s grace, we are inspired to share grace, gratitude and generosity with others
While giving of our time and talents may sometimes be the easiest, scripture also asks us to give of our blessings. These would include our financial resources.
It is helpful to think of these financial resources in three ways:
Giving from their regular income
Giving from special or unexpected income
Giving from gifts, inheritance or accrued assets over time
Where does your money go?
The General Fund
This supports ongoing ministry including worship, education, fellowship and service.
Special Giving
This may include projects like Hillcrest Transitional Housing, Feed the Need Food Drives, the Church Library and more.
Festival Music
During the year there are festivals that bring to light talented artists, choirs musicians, creative thinkers and technicians. These festivals are enhanced by your donations.
Youth Mission
Children, Youth and Family ministries are important at Atonement and to the future church. Special events and trips provide an opportunity to love, shape, mold and grow faithful followers of Jesus. Your specific donations provide more opportunities to grow in faith and do God’s work.
The Atonement Lutheran Church Foundation was established in 2006 to receive and manage gifts and bequests for the perpetual support and enhancement of Atonement Lutheran Church of Overland Park, Kansas, and its congregational ministries. The Foundation exists as a separate and distinct legal entity from the Church.
Donations and gifts to this foundation help to serve the mission of Atonement. Interest on the principle has been used to fund projects, events, and seminary students inside and outside the congregation.

Wills, Trusts, Insurance, Estate Plans
You can keep making an impact in this world beyond the years you are blessed to be alive. If you would like to consider a legacy gift related to your concerns, passions, and issues that touch your heart, please contact Pastor Zac or Dennis Allerheiligen.
Planning Beyond Our Lives
An estate plan can include both concerns for your children or other family members and the causes or ministries that you highly value. If you would like to consider supporting Atonement or other ELCA ministries beyond your lifetime, one approach is to work with the ELCA Foundation.
Faith Response
Every year Atonement invites friends and members to reflect on God’s blessings in their life. With gratitude and generosity, each household is invited to participate in our ministry by making a Faith Response in support of the ministries in and through Atonement.
We encourage households to practice first fruits and proportionate giving. This means give a portion from the first income you receive each month and strive to grow toward a tithe, to a tithe and beyond a tithe as you have been blessed. You can make a Faith Response at any time throughout the year by using the link below.
