Endowment Team Mission Statement:

The mission of the Endowment Fund Team is to encourage, receive, and administer gifts in a manner consistent with the loyalty and devotion to our Lord as expressed by the donors to enhance the outreach of HTLC apart from the general operations of the congregation.
