The Legacy Table Endowment Fund
What is the Legacy Table Endowment?
An endowment fund is like a permanent savings account for the church. Gifts to the Legacy Table are carefully invested, and the earnings provide steady, ongoing support for the ministries of Weatherly Heights. The principal is never spent—it continues to grow and sustain the church for generations to come.
Why We’re Creating This Fund
For decades, Weatherly Heights has been a church where all are welcome, questions are embraced, and faith meets action. The Legacy Table Endowment ensures that these values continue long into the future.
A gift to this fund is an investment in our future—not a replacement for annual giving, but a way to expand and strengthen what we can do together.

Every table begins with skilled hands and a strong foundation. To honor those who help build this lasting legacy, we created a special circle of recognition:
Founding Members: Anyone who gives a gift of any size in the first year (2026) of the fund.
Ongoing Members: Anyone who gives $5,000 or more in any future year.
