The First United Methodist Church

Barnesville, GA

Endowment Fund

For those looking for a way to give to the church above and beyond their regular pledges, a new option is to give to the church’s recently established Endowment Fund. The principal of this fund will be maintained indefinitely while the interest accrued will be used to fund several ministries. These ministries currently include:

  • A Missions Fund to serve those in need locally, regionally, and internationally.
  • A Scholarship Fund to assist church members attending colleges and technical schools.
  • A Building and Maintenance Fund to supplement the church's current facility budget.

Gifts can be designated to one or more of the funds listed above. The Endowment Trustees will also consider establishing additional funds if  requested. Contributions can be made in the form of cash or appreciated securities. The church can also be designated as a beneficiary of  your life insurance policy or named in your will. Those interested in modifying their current will may do so by obtaining a codicil form from  the church office.

Gifts can be given as honorariums, memorials, or special gifts. Those who would like more information on the church’s endowment fund are encouraged to contact the church office at 770-358-1494.
