As grace increases to benefit more and more people, it will cause gratitude to increase, which results in God’s glory.
Sponsored by the Grace Avenue Endowment Committee
The mission of the Permanent Endowment Fund is to provide members and friends the opportunity to make charitable gifts to Grace Avenue that will become a part of the financial support and a living memorial, not associated with the operating or capital budget process of the church. Gifts to the church may be received and used to carry out the Christian ministry and mission of Grace Avenue United Methodist Church.
