“One mission of the church is to provide scholarships to students who might not otherwise be eligible or receive financial assistance to further their education.”
Since the Abbott Methodist Church was rededicated by Willie and Bobbie Nelson in 2006, the church has given over $99,000 in scholarships to local area students. The scholarships are not merit based, but are available to assist any area student.
