Education as Mission

Each year, we award college scholarships to local students, funded by generous benefactors. Check it out. We’d love to hear from you.

This small church through God’s goodness has awarded over $700,000 to local students in the last 10 years! We believe in you!

We also provide grants for teacher-initiated creative learning projects and classroom materials through the Vine Fund.
