Estate Planning

A Servant of Christ is a Steward of God’s Grace!

The ministry of Hollywood Lutheran Church depends on the commitment, generosity and contributions of members and friends of this congregation. You can make a difference in the community for the future, and for future generations. Please consider including Hollywood Lutheran Church in your estate plans or Will. Here is suggested wording to include Hollywood Lutheran Church in your will or trust:

After fulfilling all other specific gifts and bequests, I hereby give, devise and bequeath [___% of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate] or [the amount of $________] to Hollywood Lutheran Church, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of California, and presently having offices at 1733 N. New Hampshire Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90027. 

In recent years, the ministry of Hollywood Lutheran Church has benefited enormously from planned giving.  We gratefully acknowledge these gifts:

  • Estate of Jesse Gustfason
  • Estate of Florence Glynn
  • Estate of Ruth Jensen
  • Estate of Arlene Reed

We are also mindul of the ministry of Stewardship committees, and especially the visionary guidance of Pastor Harry Durkee, in reminding us all of the power and benefit of advanced estate planning for the ongoing mission of the Church.  God bless you all!
