Our Mission
The Toole Legacy Fund honors the life and impact of Rev. Dr. Jim and Rev. Pati Toole by creating healing spaces that reflect their commitment to God’s love and service.
Through three key initiatives—a Prayer Garden, a Mosaic Project, and a Mental Health Fund—we aim to foster spiritual wellness, creativity, and mental health support for the community.
These projects continue the Tooles' legacy of nurturing faith, healing, and connection for generations to come.
