Can I decide where my gift goes?
Yes! The Christ Church Endowment Corporation has many funds that you can support. Look below to decide where you would like your gift used. 

Christ Church General Fund
The Christ Church General Fund is the most important set of funds in the Endowment Corporation as it provides unrestricted income for undertakings that the parish believes to be vital to the Church’s ministry. Income produced by these funds supports all aspects of worship, education, fellowship, outreach and pastoral care at Christ Church. 

Christian Education/ Discipleship
Income from the Christian Education and Discipleship fund will be used to support the church library and materials for Sunday school classes. This fund also includes the Christ Church Episcopal Preschool and their needs to support faculty education, and classroom accoutrements. Income from this account will also provide scholarships to CCES students. 

Clergy/ Staff Enrichment
Earnings of this fund are available to support salary and benefits of Clergy or staff members that would otherwise not be possible, but are unmistakably needed, for example, a director for Young Adult Ministry. Mainly, this fund supports continuing education for staff.

Mission and Outreach 
Money from the Mission and Outreach Fund is used to support local and international communities with mission work spawning from Christ Church. This can be used for everything from educational materials and library needs at the Sterling Hope Center to food ministries in Haiti. Allocation of funds is to be determined by the Clergy Associate for Mission and Outreach and approved by the Vestry. 

Music/ Worship
Revenue of the Music and Worship fund is used to support the music ministries of Christ Church including choir member materials, pipe organ maintenance and repair, and also to support the Acolyte ministry and the Altar Guild ministry. 

Building and Property Fund
The Building and Property Fund provides for expansion and renovation of the Church. All gifts to this fund may be used in part or entirety to fund capital projects agreed upon by the parish. This fund also includes income to support the perpetual care of the cemetery. 

Pastoral Care 
Earnings to be used to support the needs of the Pastoral Care Committee in assisting the elderly and those who need in-home visitation. Pastoral Care at Christ Church cares for the needs of our parishioners.
