Encouraging Generosity and Stewardship Through Legacy Giving

The Foundation at HP Pres encourages generosity and stewardship through legacy giving, primarily to support the programs and ministries of the church outside of its normal operating budget.

Generosity Highlights

Helen Bostick Endowment Fund

The Helen Bostick Endowment Fund has gifted $200,000 to the church planting efforts of HP Pres over the last six years. Together with The Foundation’s general funds, a total of $261,000 has been granted to church planting initiatives.

Mark Lemmon Endowment Fund

The Mark Lemmon Endowment Fund, the original architect that designed HP Pres, was honored by his family with a legacy fund designated for the restoration and preservation of the church building. In three years, over $160,000 has been gifted to HP Pres. In 2024, this endowment is funding the repair of the beautiful stained glass windows in the HP Pres sanctuary.

Mary S. and Alfred Wood Endowment Fund

The Wood Endowment Fund funds activities in the Children’s Ministry, benefiting ages 12 and younger. The generosity of the Woods’ Fund enables The Foundation to gift over $300,000 annually to support Vacation Bible School, the Advent Family Experience, the Confirmation Retreat, and Student Mission Trips.

General Fund

The General Fund invests in a variety of projects and ministries that further God’s Kingdom both domestically and internationally. Example grants from this fund are gifts for family support services, after school programs for economically disadvantaged children, evangelism initiatives, and leadership training.
