Children’s Offering Change:

Currently the children’s offering taken up each week by the children at the church story time has been split 75/25 between Church School Worthy Student fund and Children’s Ministry fund. Since both of these accounts are fully funded now, the Church Finance committee and Church Board have voted to change this offering to be split between five different funds which will still be used by our children. They are as follows:

25% to OAA appropriation which will go to assist the Gentry Church Academy students.

25% to OAS appropriation which will go to assist the Gentry Church Elementary students.

25% to CYB assistance which will go to assist the Gentry Church kids to attend summer camp.

15% to Pathfinder appropriation which will go to assist the Gentry Church Pathfinder club.

10% to Adventurer appropriation which will go to assist the Gentry Church Adventurer club.

For any questions, please contact the Church Treasurer at (479) 233-9275 for more information.
