Reba & Charles Baker Scholarship Fund Committee

The Reba and Charles Baker Scholarship Fund assists church members (both youth and adults) who wish to further their education beyond high school.  Originally established in 1993 by Charles Baker in memory of his wife, Reba, the fund has helped over 100 church members cover the costs of tuition, books, housing, etc.  While providing financial assistance is a key component of this fund, it also helps to maintain a spiritual connection between the student and their church family while he or she is in school.
