Ways To Support The Foundation
-
Summer Youth and Children’s Camperships
Youth Camps can be very expensive for today’s families, especially a family with multiple children hoping to attend Camps.
Every year the Foundation provides “Camperships” for families who need some assistance with this expense. Your donations help fund these Camperships.
-
Annual Foundation Dinner
Each year, we host a Fundraising Dinner, complete with delicious food and a silent auction. These fun evenings raise money for the many ministries we support.
2025 Fundraising Dinner
This year, our evening will be called “A Feast of Faith” and will include a fabulous Italian dinner, a silent auction with many great items from local businesses, tickets to upcoming events, and gift baskets donated by individuals. This years beneficiary is the Youth Mission Fund, which helps send our youth to mission work events.
