Mission Goals
We are prompted and motivated by the fact that so many of our students do not always obtain the best advice concerning their educational goals. Therefore, it is our desire to keep them focused on attaining, not only a high school diploma, but, a college degree and beyond. By so doing, we partner with the local schools, their parents, and other professionals in providing a well-rounded program of incentives, information and encouragement.
We offer parents and students workshops, educational field trips and sound counsel in the exploration of educational options.
We recommend educational enrichment programs from a variety of resources.
We inform students, particularly in high school, of the many scholarships and opportunities available from other organizations.
We keep students on an upward path to success by identifying and rewarding their achievements each year.

Ministry Requirements
Must complete New Members class.
Must be willing to come to scheduled monthly meetings on the 3rd Monday of each month.
Must be committed to sharing time with students on an as-needed basis for disseminating materials, helping with college applications, grading Atherton scholarship applications and essays, and leading or assisting with various workshops offered during the course of the year.
Should be available for chaperoning trips to educational and cultural centers.
The ever demanding challenges of a highly technological society makes it even more imperative that we inspire and embolden our young people to seek higher educational goals in order to be competitive. Pursuing less than a degree in secondary school is not an option. This is the reason the Scholarship Ministry exists—to enlighten our young people and, indeed, more mature young adults, about the opportunities that abound if they are willing to sacrifice their short-term desires for the more lasting endeavors of acquiring Godly and secular wisdom. Join us if you feel committed to making a lasting difference in our church and the community-at-large.
