Mission & Outreach
This fund was created in the mind 1990’s to give our church the opportunity to broaden our support of deserving but underfunded ministries in our own local community, or nationally, or internationally. It has now become a generous grant-giving ministry of our church. The Endowment Fund supports education and initiatives that promote outreach, growth, and services to the marginalized through a wide variety of ministries. Grants are awarded to programs that foster spiritual growth, social justice, leadership development, and creative ministry models that reflect our mission. Certain ministries or needs within Advent qualify for grants, but nothing that is in the budget can be considered.
