The mission of the Josephine Rudy Smith Fund is to support ministerial students by providing financial assistance for their seminary expenses, in memory of Josephine Rudy Smith. The fund aims to sustain this support through ongoing donations and is administered by a committee associated with First United Methodist Church of Henderson, Kentucky.
The grant, established in honor of Rev. Frank C. King, supports the additions and improvements to churches affiliated with the Kentucky Annual Conference. It is designed as a matching grant, offering up to $3,000 to selected awardees. The objective is to facilitate the enhancement of church facilities, aligning with Rev. King's intent to support the physical and spiritual growth of these religious communities.
