Memorial Fund

Through the years, the Memorial Fund has been a valuable source of funding for a variety of needs including refurbishing and remodeling, audio/visual supplies, books and other church literature, music and musical instruments, missions, furnishings and equipment, educational resources, and assistance for many of the programs of the church. Contributions are generally made in memory of a departed loved one, but a gift is also a fitting remembrance of other occasions such as a birthday, a wedding, an anniversary, or to honor a special person in your life.  Designations need to be made at the time of the donation.

A Brief History

The Memorial Fund was established in the early 1970’s and continues as a fund separate from current operating funds. It is administered by the Memorial Committee appointed by the Church Council. Gifts are used according to the intent of the donor and the fund is subject to regular audit. A record of each gift is kept permanently on file at church.
