Capital Campaign–One Year Marker

Yesterday the congregation voted unanimously to go forward with financing a new facility.

This was somewhat of a forgone conclusion, as we have been raising fund for exactly one year.

God has been good, people have been faithful.  At the one year mark, we are receiving the Faith Promises at a 93% rate.   When we include the First Fruits offering, we are at the 39% mark of total funds that were Faith Promised.

The congregation received a full update that you can view here, or below.
