Our Endowment Funds
WPC Foundation Funds
Good Steward Fund
The Good Steward Fund is the largest and most vital fund of the Westminster Presbyterian Church Foundation (WPCF). Through its annual grants to the WPC Session, the Good Steward Fund helps maintain our facility and address its essential needs. It provides critical support for repairs and upgrades, including heating and air systems, plumbing, painting, carpeting, accessibility for individuals with disabilities, security, parking, furniture, and window replacement.
The G. Raymond Campbell Fund
Investment income from the G. Raymond Campbell Fund is evenly split. Half supports the Deacons in their assistance to the needy; the other half supports church members who are studying for the ministry.
Senior Leadership Worship Fund
The Senior Leadership Worship Fund provides a sustainable income source to attract and retain top-tier leaders for our Senior Pastor and Director of Worship. By generating consistent funding, this fund ensures our ability to remain competitive in securing exceptional leadership and fostering long-term church growth.
Mission Fund
The Mission Fund supports the vital mission work, including the Urban Mission, Infant Crisis Services, Dwight Mission, Habitat for Humanity, the “You Are Loved” Homeless Alliance ministry, Mobile Meals, and other outreach initiatives.
Youth Ministry Fund
The Youth Ministry Fund was established in 2010. It specifically supports the hiring of youth ministry summer interns and scholarships for youth mission trips.
Education Fund
The Education Fund was established to support a multitude of educational activities at WPC. Recently, this included piloting a children’s immersive biblical experience, which was so successful that additional programs for all our children, including those with neurodiversity, have been instituted.
Carillon Fund
The Carillon Fund provides support for the music ministry and upkeep of our unique 63-year-old carillon.
Ethelyn Maier Music Scholarship Fund
The Ethelyn Maier Music Scholarship Fund was transferred to the WPCF by Central Presbyterian Church in 2021. This fund provides academic scholarships for one or more promising music students who share their time and talent with the WPC congregation.
The SPARK Fund
The Special Program in Art and Reading for Kids (SPARK) Fund was created to provide support in art and reading for children who are in the church, surrounding neighborhoods, and nearby elementary schools.
The Birthday Club Fund
The Birthday Club Fund, established in 2019, is a fund designed to foster new ministries at WPC. Donations to the fund are made in honor of the birthdays of members of the congregation and their loved ones. Donation cards are conveniently available outside the sanctuary.
