Sister Carol Perry Fund for Biblical Education

Where do we find the words to express our love and gratitude for one so important as Sister Carol Perry? During her 37-year ministry at Marble, Sister Carol taught us what God’s Word actually says, and in her life, she has shown us what God’s Love actually looks like. Her fingerprints will forever be indelibly imprinted on our spirits and on the soul of Marble Church.

Though it will always be difficult to effectively say what she means to us, we all have an opportunity to show how grateful we are by making a donation to The Sister Carol Perry Fund for Biblical Education. This fund, established in her honor, is meant to ensure that the strong biblical/theological foundation she has built here can be passed on from generation to generation as we finance the essential ministry of biblical instruction and scholarship.

In June 2018 we also dedicated a stained glass window in honor of Sister Carol. As she was celebrated during Worship Sister Carol said, “You are the only Protestant church in the world that would do this for a Catholic nun.” The window, created by artist Nikki Vogt and the Rambusch Decorating Company, is on the Concourse Level, across from the Labyrinth Room where Sister Carol taught so many of her classes.
