Haymount United Methodist Church Endowments are permanent funds, which mean the original fund gift stays invested and a percentage of the income provides long-term funding to enhance the ministries and missions of the church for generations to come. Our endowments are a good way to say we believe in planning and funding for our church's future.
These endowments are designed to proved for ministries and needs beyond the annual operating budget of the church. Currently, Haymount as 17 funds that support ministry both within and outside the walls of the church, with an 18th endowment fund being formed now.  The endowment funds exist in three categories: Missions & Ministry, Facilities, and General. Below are the endowment fund categories and the specified purpose of each endowment. 
By clicking on an endowment below, you can enjoy reading the interesting history of why and how these wonderful, beneficial endowment funds were developed. If you are interested in developing and endowment, adding to a current endowment, or becoming a part of Haymount's future, please contact HUMC's Business Office at 910-484-0181. Thank you!
