Gift Committee

Gift Committee

The Church of the Ascension receives monetary gifts given in honor or in memory of loved ones. The Ascension Gift Committee thoughtfully and prayerfully distributes a portion of these funds through responsible stewardship to support the Church’s ministries.
These small monetary grants provide funding for special projects and other unbudgeted needs that enrich the life of our church. In this way, gifts given in honor or memory of loved ones provide meaningful ministry support.
