The Endowment Fund is an educational fund to assist those pursuing faith formation opportunities. This governmental body is made up of 5 elected board members each serving 5-year terms. Their role is to encourage, receive and administer monetary gifts, including managing an endowment education fund in accordance to grantors’ wishes and congregation policies, while maintaining loyalty and devotion to the Lord to ensure the fund can continue to provide educational gifts to children and young adults in need.
The Board distributes portions of the endowment fund in the form of grants given to young adults for college tuition, seminary, nursing or medical school; for church-related camping and leadership conferences, or other such training which enables members of this congregation to grow in Christian faith and service to God’s people.
