Capital Campaign
Say “Yes” to the Future
Our Capital Campaign kicked off in Fall of 2022. The goals of our Capital Campaign included improving safety on campus, upgrading our digital technology, renovating our kitchen and lounge, replacing our failing air conditioners, increasing accessibility, refreshing our Sanctuary, and updating our landscaping. We have completed several projects so far and have more in the works, but still need your help to meet all of our goals.
If you have already pledged towards the Capital Campaign, thank you and we encourage to continue making your payments towards your pledge. If you have not yet made a Capital Campaign Pledge, we encourage you to complete a Capital Campaign Commitment form today!
