Church of the Saviour Foundation was established in 1955. The primary purposes of the Foundation are to assist in the maintenance and upkeep of our beautiful Gothic-style church, as well as to fund innovative initiatives for ministry. In 2003, Church of the Saviour celebrated its 75th anniversary with the conclusion of a $1.7 million restoration of the church building and grounds, a substantial portion of which was funded by the Foundation. In 2004 the Tower Society was formed, and a Charitable Gift Annuity program was established.
The Foundation also serves to seed new and innovative ministries that arise outside of the normal budgetary plans. Exciting children's programs, youth mission trips and scholarships through the Foundation augment the ministry and outreach capacity of the church.
Foundation Trustees, nominated by the Church Trustees, meet quarterly to review requests and distribute grants that meet the guidelines of its mission. Foundation Trustees also oversee the designated funds' distributions that support such ministries as the radio broadcast, scholarships, youth, missions, and other ministries.
