Your church provides ministry to individuals and families throughout their life journey. At moments of celebration, sorrow, and transitions, the church community is there to offer joy and support, tears and encouragement. As members look to the future, they wish to use the resources that they have acquired over a lifetime to continue to support, challenge and encourage the ministries to which they gave to during their lifetimes.

Planned Giving is a way for individuals and families to make decisions about how their estate will be used long into the future. The RMC Endowment Committee is excited to bring the Rev. Dr. Charles Buck, President and CEO, of the UC FUNDS to our Conference, Charles has served as a pastor in Northern California, he served as Conference Minister of the Hawai’i Conference and Interim Conference Minister in New Hampshire. Elected in March 2019 as the President and CEO, Charles brings thirty years of extensive administrative, organizational and investment experience as senior pastor, judicatory executive and long service on numerous board of directors and committees.
