CAPITAL FUNDRAISING - Your gift to our Capital Fundraising Campaign is an investment in the future of our church and community. Together, we are building a multi-purpose facility that will serve as a place to gather, celebrate, learn, worship, and support one another for generations to come. No contribution is too small—every gift brings us one step closer to making this vision a reality. We are also pleased to offer two exclusive Wall Naming Opportunities within the new facility, available for a gift of $15,000 each. Whether given as a leadership contribution, a family legacy gift, or in honor or memory of a loved one, your generosity will leave a lasting impact and become a permanent part of this historic project. We invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with us today. Together, we can build a place where faith, fellowship, and community will flourish for years to come.
