About Us
Countryside Community Church Charitable Foundation
The Countryside Community Church Charitable Foundation is a charitable endowment created to support and supplement the programs and facilities at Countryside Community Church.
Benefactors can designate where gifts are distributed, such as missions, programs, facilities, etc. Our Foundation cannot replace members’ annual financial stewardship, which support daily operations. However, the Foundation can help provide focused opportunities to expand or enhance our missions.
The Foundation has awarded grants to Countryside Community Church in 2009 and 2010 to address unexpected expenses for much needed repairs and to partially fund other projects as requested by the Board of Trustees. Details of those activities and our plans going forward will be available in our annual report.
