Kevin Rippe Memorial Youth Camp

Endowment/Scholarship

On February 15, 2004, at the age of 27, one of our former teens - Kevin Rippe - went home to be with the Lord as the result of a tragic auto accident. It is in his memory that this Memorial Fund has been established.

There are two specific avenues through which individuals may choose to get involved & thus support teens who wish to attend one of our youth camps:

1) The Kevin Rippe Memorial Fund - Monies given and ear-marked "endowment" will be funneled toward this fund, helping 'grow' the endowment.

2) The Kevin Rippe Memorial Scholarship - Monies given and ear-marked "scholarship" will be used in this current year to help a teen attend youth camp this summer.

For more info: Call the church office at 996-8172.
