Minister's Benevolent Fund
The Congregational Holiness Church Minister’s Benevolent Fund provides financial assistance to the family of a CHC minister or spouse following their passing. It allows fellow ministers and members to show their support during a difficult time by contributing a love offering. The fund ensures that ministers are cared for by their community, providing both financial and emotional support when it is most needed.
When a member of the Benevolence Fund passes away, other members are notified and asked to send a minimum love offering of $10 to the CHC General Office in Griffin, GA. These donations are then collected and distributed to the surviving spouse or estate of the deceased member. Members may also send more than the $10 minimum if desired.
