Webber Center means more to us than just nodding our heads,” Gretchen Hansen, a representative from the foundation, said in a news release. “Their vision for eternity and providing resources and direction for developing leaders is exciting and rewarding. The Foundation’s sharing God’s abundance is merely a response to the Holy Spirit and giving what is His in the first, middle and always place."
The Rev. Dr. Joel Scandrett, director of the Webber Center, said "The Hansen Foundation's commitment to promote Christian education throughout the Pittsburgh region is an excellent match with the Webber Center's mission to provide high-quality parish resources for Christian formation and discipleship.”
