Watch for more possible additions! About EUMC's Concert Outreach Ministry Fund We are gratefully accepting donations to the Concert Outreach Ministry Fund to enable EUMC to continue to offer concerts by nationally known artists on a regular basis. The purpose of this ministry is multifold. It will serve as an outreach for the community, provide people who aren’t able to travel distances the opportunity to experience high caliber concerts locally, and most importantly help establish or strengthen their relationship with Christ. The costs of hosting the concerts can be expensive as these artists have high travel expenses and for many this is their only source of income for their families. The Fund allows us to help outset the fees involved with hosting the concerts. Many artists require a minimum honorarium amount, but our goal is to bring the concerts to you at the lowest cost possible. Donations made to the Concert Outreach Ministry Fund are eligible for receipts for charitable giving.
