Campus Ministry Activity
This fund was established some time prior to 2002 when the campus ministry program was first established. Its purpose is to provided additional funds for projects and programs of campus ministry which are not funded through the operational budget, particularly to pay for leadership training and travel for members of the campus ministry group.

CRE Activity
This fund was originally established (before 1995 or so) to hold the registration fees when the church charged families a registration fee for participating in the Religious Education Program. The registrations fees were dedicated to the support of the Religious Education Program and were to provide for items which were not a part of the operational budget. Then Board policy changed and no fees were charged for RE or other church programs. The Religious Education Committee decided before the building renovation began to save the most of the money in the Children's Religious Education Special Fund to use as seed money to create a new playground for older children after the building process was completed because it was anticipated that a new building might be built on existing playgrounds. That is still the intention of the CRE Committee. The Children's Religious Education Special Fund is also used to deposit the proceeds of various RE fundraising projects including the quilt raffle (to support the Summer Art Program) and the proceeds of the Summer Service Projects. It is also used a clearing account for the Shelter Neck Family Retreats and the Family Dinners where money is taken in and then disbursed. The CRE Special Fund has also been used to fund training and travel for volunteers, special purchases or on occasion to pay special guests for events which were not included in the operational program budget for the CRE Program.

Youth Activity
The Youth Activities Special Fund was established some time before 1999 to save the proceeds of Youth Program Fundraising, primarily football parking. The funds stored there were used to fund youth travel to the General Assembly (for at least five years) and Nicaragua prior to the establishment of the Straley Fund for Youth Travel for Peace and Justice. The Youth Activities Special Fund continues to hold the proceeds of board approved fundraising for youth programs not funded under the operational budget. Primarily the fund is used now to pay for youth travel for the Coming Age Program. It is also used as a clearing account for the Youth Shelter Neck Retreat.
