Lovers Lane United Methodist Church Foundation

The Lovers Lane United Methodist Church Foundation (the "Foundation") exists solely to support Lovers Lane United Methodist Church (the "Church") and its ministries ("ministries"), through the receipt of contributions to one or more endowment funds held by the Foundation, which are invested and the income and gains from such investments are used to make distributions to the Church, its ministries or individuals served by the Church or its ministries. 2022 was a great year for the Foundation. Total assets remain at the highest levels (almost 22,000,000). Our distributions or grants to the Church and its ministries have grown from approximately 440,000 in 2019 to more than half a million in 2020, and 2021; and more than 550,000 in 2022.

Our congregation has made the Church part of their lives -- the Foundation is their opportunity to make the Church part of their legacy.
