Costner-Fulton Grants Due October 1

The Costner-Fulton Fund for Missions is a grant program of the Mission, Service and Justice Team. Tom and LaVerne Fulton shared a passion for social work in their professional lives. Their activism was a calling, rooted in faith and given further expression through the outreach ministries of The United Methodist Church. It is not surprising that this dedicated couple created an estate plan that would continue to reach out to a world in need.
