CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| PLAN's board consists of six members of the congregation meeting at the Lindsley Avenue Church. The board wishes to add members from outside of the congregation. The small size of the congregation -- about 70 members -- limits its financial capacity to provide the necessary funds to complete the restoration of the church building. Although the congregation is self-supporting, the preacher must work full-time outside of the church during the week. PLAN therefore seeks funding from foundations and individuals wishing to restore an important historical landmark as well as to encourage the congregation's work of loving its neighbors, many of whom are in desperate need. |
