Chance to Go Scholarship
This scholarship fund gives our children and youth the opportunity to participate in the ministry and mission events that our programs provide. Warren Willis Camp, Summer Mission Trips, Fall Retreats, Confirmation Retreats & fun events are just some of the ways that this scholarship fund helps families be able to afford to send their kids to all of these wonderful opportunities that our church provides. Giving to this fund helps our community and families in our congregation who may not have the means to send all of their kids and we are so grateful for the generosity that you can provide.
