Each week, the offerings of the congregation help carry out the ministry of University Place Christian Church. Materials are purchased, staff is paid, programs are planned, basic upkeep is done, and ongoing repairs are completed through these regular offerings.

But there are special situations which call for special funds:

• Some needs arise which are large and unexpected.
• Some ongoing needs eat away too much of the weekly offering, handicapping the full ministry of the church.
• Some people have a desire to give through the church in a lasting way, a way that continues to give through the years.
• Some funds make it possible to attempt large projects without hindering other ministries.

For this reason, the trustees of the church are providing you with this information so that you might exercise your own stewardship in a lasting and important way. If you have further questions or would appreciate counsel, contact either the pastor or a member of the trustees of the church.

Gifts to this fund make up what is called a cash reserve. The money is used to supplement other funds in emergency situations. This fund is available during times of critical expenses so that the ministry of the church is ongoing.

(Both of these funds, Capital Improvement and Century II, have an optional restriction that can be applied to any gift on the request of the donor. This restriction allows only the earned interest made from the gift to be used. The actual gift is permanent and cannot be used. This allows the donor to give a gift that keeps on giving.)
