Grants & Scholarships

Generosity is integral to the ministry of Fredsville Lutheran Church. We established our endowment fund to grow the outreach ministry of our congregation, to support the people and community around us. Fredsville has been practicing not only the stewardship of finacial resources but of Creation also. Fredsville recieved 225 acres of farmland in Grundy County that we utilize this gift for endowment fund ministry, including grants and scholarships. Fredsville is invested in the future of God's beloved people.
