Our church has been blessed by our partnership with the Florida United Methodist Foundation. They do a superb job managing our endowment funds in faithful, responsible ways, always attentive to the needs and curiosities of our Finance Committee. Over the years, the earnings from those funds have provided us resources to fund college and ministry scholarships for our students, offer unique discipleship and missions opportunities to people of all ages, and make necessary improvements to our campus facilities.
We have also invested money in their Development Fund, and we communicate to people in our congregation that they can do the same. This is a practical expression of our connectional system at its best. Not only do we help contribute to the vitality of congregations and communities across the state, but we are also able to earn above-market interest on our cash reserves. It is a true win-win.
The Florida United Methodist Foundation is a shining example of the value of being connected, and we are grateful for our partnership with them.
