Endowment: Three seniors receive scholarships from the Chris Bryan Memorial Endowment

Bill Bryan, husband of the late Chris Bryan, and Rev. Dr. Mark Charles award the first three scholarships from the Chris Bryan Memorial Endowment to Joey Roberts, Jackson Charles, and Abbie Moore on Sunday, May 11th, 2025.

In 2020, a team from Memorial worked to establish the first every endowment fund in the church's long history. As the fund recently came into fruition, it was offically named the "Chris Bryan Memorial Endowment Fund" in honor of longtime, beloved church member, Chris Bryan and her dedication to Memorial, which she loving called "my church."

The endowment will serve to fortify Memorial for years to come and also provide special opportunities to the ministries, missions, and programs of the church. On Sunday, May 11th, Pastor Charlie was pleased to announce that the endowment was awarding three $1000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors from the church family. Bill Bryan and his daughters were on hand to help present the scholarships to seniors Joey Roberts, Jackson Charles, and Abbie Moore, all of whom are active members of Memorial's youth group. Joey will be attending Centre College in Kentucky where he will play lacrosse. Jackson is attending the University of Central Florida to study business and finance. And Abbie is attending Florida State University in Tallahassee.
