Who We Are
Like A Mustard Seed
Like the story of the mustard seed, the assets of the Oklahoma Disciples Foundation have matured to now exceed $10.5 million. Because of hundreds of generous individuals, families and organizations, the Foundation supports and responds to ministries statewide.
The Foundation currently administers 70+ endowment funds that benefit Disciples of Christ ministries and organizations. Our mission, in part, is to improve those funds, invest them wisely and distribute the income.
Service to congregations and individuals is the other focus of our mission. We have developed workshops designed for women and their financial issues, congregations benefit from our presentations on permanent funds and estate planning. Our service to individuals includes personal consultations on stewardship goals and estate planning. In addition, we offer the following brochures, which can be downloaded in pdf format:
Your Living Gift to the Oklahoma Disciples Foundation (1 MB)

What will your Legacy be? (1.7 MB)

Why do I need a Will? (1.8 MB)

A Board of Directors representing Disciples members statewide oversees the Foundation's operations, with the assistance of a professional staff.
