What a treasure to receive! What a legacy to leave!
Pete Bender, CPA, CFP®
Foundation Executive Director
Founded by visionary members in 1995, the St. Lorenz Foundation was born from a desire to multiply resources and ensure that future generations would benefit from the same spiritual guidance and education. Our mission: to steward donor gifts with integrity and purpose, ensuring they serve the ministries of St. Lorenz Lutheran Church and School for years to come.
