Stewardship
An Investment in ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý is a Gift of Significance for the Lord’s Kingdom
What we Believe and Our Commitment to You
Whether you’ve invested in ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý or considering a partnership we want to share with you what we believe about biblical Stewardship. We believe Biblical Stewardship begins with the knowledge that God owns it all and we are stewards of His resources. The use of money unveils what the heart worships and treasures most.
¿Û¿Û‚÷ý Development Role
Gifts of Grace are in response to the intellectual and experiential knowledge that God first loved us and initiated grace and we extend grace and love to others through generous actions. An investment in ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý is a gift of eternal significance for the Lord’s kingdom work through our efforts as a Christ-centered higher education.
Gifts of Grace
In the discipleship and development process we find that asking for God’s people to share God’s resources for God’s Kingdom work at ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý brings about life and joy. Because of this we ask you to partake in the partnership of the ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý mission through your cheerful gifts. As we challenge one another in cheerful and compassionate generosity our goal in asking is to produce joy, maintain a mind focused on the eternal, encourage an increased dependence on God for our needs and release the temptations this world brings through riches to enjoy true riches in Christ.
University Endowment
The University Endowment is an accumulation of gifts from generous partners that is invested according to ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý’s investment policy. Earnings from the endowment are split to re-invest into the corpus to gain higher yields in the future and the other is given to support the vision and mission of the university.
How Endowments Transform Lives
Every gift and investment made into the ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý Endowment directly impacts the accessibility and affordability of a quality Christ-centered higher education. Each dollar given alleviates a student’s future graduate debt-load. Students who receive endowment scholarships will graduate with less debt and become more nimble in the hands of God as they are sent into communities to transform lives for His glory.
The Endowment Process
- The Gift – Endowments begin at $25,000 or five percent of which will be invested into the University Scholarship Fund for immediate student support. The remaining 95 percent will be invested per Board policies.
- The Investment Return – Interest gained from the endowment helps increase the corpus to reach and impact more students over the life of the fund. ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý partners with RW Baird & Co. to manage the investment portfolio.
- Reinvested Payout – The reinvested payout is the unspent fund payout that is returned to the endowment for the purposes of growth and future impact. The long-term goal is to provide a reasonable, predictable, stable and sustainable level of income to support student affordability.
- Perpetuity – To strengthen the fund and uphold the sustainability of the ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý mission, the investment committee reviews each endowment for maximum impact for the life of the university.
Christ-Centered Sustainability
¿Û¿Û‚÷ý is unequivocally Christ-centered. A thriving endowment allows ¿Û¿Û‚÷ý to stand tall amidst poor economic conditions and threats upon our biblical values for which we stand.
