CAPITAL FUND: building on our legacy
It's been 20 years since the last renovation, and the Sanctuary is currently in need of several major repairs: new HVAC, a new roof with better drainage, safety features for the balcony, and a new stage floor to replace the current stage floor, which is near the end of its usable life. All of these necessary repairs together means a heavy lift, and the church needs your help to fund this construction project that is scheduled for August!

The success of our last capital campaign
|
|
The 2018 Capital Campaign addressed our dream of creating spaces to foster beloved community for the future: Spaces for a thriving Religious Education program for all ages; spaces for committee and ministry meetings and for our myriad other regular and special gatherings, all accessible, spaces to more fully live our mission.
Our original plans encompassed a new wing plus numerous renovations to our existing space. Unfortunately, rising costs eventually drove us to narrow our procurement scope to the essential new construction. With many willing volunteers, we did what renovation work we could do ourselves, while the other improvement projects were deferred (but not forgotten) until after the construction phase was completed. Beginning in 2019, the congregation supported a “Close the Gap” campaign to cover the construction cost and ensure that long-term debt would not burden future church operating budgets. That resulted in a tide of enthusiastic fundraising, increased pledges, early pledge fulfillments, and generous donations by church groups and households who were able to do so. |
