Unless otherwise designated, money given to our church is placed in what we call the General Fund, through which we cover our regular operating and mission expenses. We also have two special funds through which we fund our work. They are: the Cliff and Audie Lee Jones Ministry Fund, for helping people in financial crisis toward courage, hope, and new opportunity; and the Building Fund, for tending to our building, grounds, and furnishings beyond regular upkeep and maintenance. To donate to these special funds, simply note on your check or envelope the fund you are giving to or you can donate through our website (click the “Donations” button).
