Our Endowment Fund is created to assist members and friends of Center Grove United Methodist Church in providing long-term support for the Church and its programs.  The Fund is intended to be a permanent funding source to directly benefit programs and ministries that the Church typically cannot fund through its annual operating budget. This allows the Church to accomplish projects and programs in keeping with its mission and ministries that might not otherwise be possible.
