She will serve the Great Lakes Zone with deep compassion and care.”

The Foundation’s Great Lakes Zone office is in Indianapolis and serves donors and Disciples ministries in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Christian Church Foundation serves Disciples by gathering, stewarding, and distributing dollars for mission. We do this by identifying and assisting donors who desire to make a difference through planned gifts, and by assisting Disciples ministries to be good stewards of their gifts through sound policies and prudent faith-based investment services.
