Johnson Atkinson Fund

Johnson - Atkinson Fund

The Johnson - Atkinson Fund is a gift to the church to inspire and support development of church ventures and to facilitate spiritual growth.  It is intended to serve as a catalyst for new energy and commitment to grow in the knowledge and love of God in Christ and radiate God's love in an ever-changing world.  We are thankful for the thoughtfulness of this gift from Bill and Mary Johnson who established this fund for the church.

Any church group, member, or staff of First Parish is eligible to fill out an application.  The Johnson - Atkinson Fund Team will review the applications and determine the recipient(s).  The funds may be distributed annually or biannually, dependent on the committee's judgment and fund balances.  The fund is not intended to support the annual budget of the church, personnel costs, or cost of operations.

  • Meet emerging professional development and/or retraining needs of Church Staff.
