We are called to LOVE God and others to the fullest.

The Reach Fund - We encourage ideas for new ministry ventures both from within and from beyond First English. We challenge our members (and others) to think boldly and creatively, seeking the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to fire their spirits. These efforts to Reach Wider and Love Stronger should show promise of new reach in faith and discipleship. The ultimate goal of the Reach Fund is to help launch ministries with the potential to grow into our annual FELC budget. Grant amounts are based on need and typically span 3 years with reduced funding each year. The primary application for a Reach Fund grant must be submitted by an active member of FELC.

The Grow Fund - Created as a no-strings attached blessing, the Grow Fund is designed to provide those in need with a financial lift. We challenge our First English members to seek out those in need. Nominations for these gifts must be submitted by active FELC members. In an effort to impact as many worthy causes as possible, most gifts will be in the $500- $3,000 range. The Grow Fund is funded by a very generous FELC  member who annually matches $6,500 to our church contribution of $6,500.
