One of the most appealing commitments of the Paw Paw Seventh-day Adventist Church (PPSDA) is the ambitious support of Adventist Christian education. A robust educational plan, which is funded through a large chunk of the church’s Combined Budget, offsets a significant portion of the family’s cost for Adventist Christian education in Michigan. Because of the church’s strong belief that all children in the congregation should have the opportunity to attend an SDA school, the PPSDA Promise was started more than ten years ago. The PPSDA Promise is an ongoing endowment, a long-range funding source developed to assist the church in meeting future financial commitments. After more than a decade of watching the endowment fund grow, a portion of the funds is now distributed to qualified students annually upon recommendation from the church’s education committee.
One-time and regular donations, memorial gifts and estate bequests fund the PPSDA Promise. The Promise Board encourages each member to consider making a gift or budgeting regular support to the Promise. Gifts in memory of loved ones also have played a part in the growth of the endowment fund. Members can extend that support, even after a lifetime of giving to education, by means of a special gift from a trust or will to the Promise. In building up The PPSDA Promise, we are assuring that the message of Jesus and His goodness will be shared with future generations. For more information about the PPSDA Promise and the difference gifts will make, contact the pastor or one of the members of the Promise Board.
The endowment program of the Paw Paw Seventh-day Adventist Church faithfully follows the guidelines established by the IRS as a 501-c 3 corporation and was adopted February 23, 2009 by the church. Endowment gifts are professionally invested and the amount available annually for support of the church’s students is determined by a carefully planned “spending rule”. This means a gift to the endowment keeps giving year after year.
