First Forever Gift - First Church Permanent Endowment Fund

The First Church Permanent Endowment Fund provides our congregation with a perpetual source of income in support of the church’s ministries and missions, as well as providing our membership a vehicle through which to make legacy gifts to the church.

Your gifts. Forever Invested.

 
 
 

The First Church Permanent Endowment Fund was established in 2020 to provide members and friends of First Church the opportunity to make legacy and enduring gifts to the church either as direct gifts or through estate planning and bequests. Gifts to the fund, which we call First Forever Gifts, are invested, not spent, and provide a perpetual source of income in support of the church’s ministries and missions.

  • Earnings from investments will be used, according to established criteria, to support one of the following areas of ministry:

  • Establish new ministries of the church.

  • Fund scholarships for development of future pastors and clergy from the First Church family.

  • Serve the major needs of our church facilities including major upgrades.

These earnings will not be used for the normal operating expenses of the church.

Your Forever Gift will change hearts and lives at First Church for generations to come
