Direct Gifts
Chaplain Support Fund
Do you have a heart for those who have dedicated their lives to serving God and His people? The Mary Melby Fund assists retired pastors, chaplains and missionaries who have served the Baptist General Conference with housing expenses and allows them to reside and continue their ministry here at Elim Park. The fund honors the name of Mary Melby, Elim Park’s first superintendent, a dedicated missionary and servant of God, and it helps and honors others who serve God.
