The Heritage Campaign
Preserving Our Heritage - Preparing for Our Future
We Are Undertaking This Campaign to:
Preserve Our Sacred Space: Our church building is both a place of worship and a symbol of God’s presence in our community. Our beloved organ has suffered because of the water leaking into the mortar. Caring for both ensures that the church continues to welcome and inspire for generations to come.
Support Our Mission: By investing in our buildings, we strengthen the ministries that flow from them—worship, education, fellowship, and outreach. Our campaign enables us to serve not only our congregation but also the wider community.
Honor Our Heritage and Prepare for the Future: The faithful generosity of past generations made our life together possible. This campaign gives us the chance to build on our past, ensuring that the church continues inspire hope, spirituality and faith.
Grow in Faith Together: A capital campaign is also a spiritual journey. It calls us to reflect on God’s blessings and invites us to respond with generosity, trust, and shared commitment.
The Heritage Campaign is made up of three primary projects:
