Wise stewardship is essential to a successful building project; this can be expressed in several ways. As a congregation we must steward both the mission and the finances of the church, expressing both faith and wisdom as we seek to restore and improve the functionality of the church building.
We are blessed to be in a unique season of time. It is important to maintain our operational giving and sacrificially go above and beyond that to prepare the facility for improved ministry – for ourselves and for generations to come.
We know that the building project will have a significant impact on the operating budget. The church leadership will be taking steps to address the impact of carrying the proposed debt (both in expenses and revenue). Our proposed 2020 budget includes mortgage payments for two months. Future budgets will include the full impact of carrying the indebtedness. We have a goal to seek out all potential grants to support this project.
