The Foundation

MISSION STATEMENT

The Cornerstone Community Church of Greeley Foundation provides a means by which those who love Christ’s Church can leave a financial legacy, during or after their lifetime, for support of Christian ministries affiliated with Cornerstone Community Church of Greeley, Colorado. Gifts, designated and non-designated, once accepted, belong solely to our Lord, Jesus Christ, and will be used to further His Kingdom here on Earth as guided by our faith statement and the Church Session.

 

HISTORY

After years of discussion, a foundation was established for our church in 2007. The Cornerstone Community Church of Greeley Foundation is accountable to the Session. The Foundation will work to inform, educate and assist members and friends of our church in understanding the benefits associated with planned charitable giving and how the ministries of the church will benefit.

ORGANIZATION

The Foundation ascribes to the general guiding principles and standards set forth by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. It is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board members serve three-year rotating terms and are accountable to the Session of the church. Board members are well-connected and enthusiastic church members, ideally with business, accounting, financial planning, or legal backgrounds.

PURPOSE
