First Baptist Church Foundation, Inc.

The First Baptist Church Foundation, Inc. was established in 1995 as a result of a bequest from the estate of Julia Lee Stephens, a long time member of the church.  The foundation exists to receive contributions above and beyond the offerings given to support the annual budget of the church.  The earnings from these funds are used to complement and support important programs and ministries of the church.

It is the intention of the foundation to protect the principal of such contributions by expending and disbursing only the anticipated real return on its portfolio each year.  The Directors of the Foundation, who are members of and elected by the church, make decisions for funding, resulting from requests sent by church members and groups through the Finance Committee of the First Baptist Church, Stillwater.
