Essentials for Growth - 'Stuff we Need Now!’ Fundraiser 


This Congregationally approved fundraiser has two goals:

Raise $37,000 for building and site improvements - 'Stuff We Need Now!’ 

  • Clean up our Well Water

  • Expand our Parking Lot by 24 Spaces

  • Add 22 More Sanctuary Chairs & 40+ Folding Chairs 

  • Enable Flexibility in Pulpit Location on Stage

  • Install a Bigger Name Badge Cabinet

See this link for details: Essentials for Growth Summary


Fully fund the Building, Grounds & Technology Reserve through a Matching Challenge: For every $1 gifted toward improvements, two donors will give $1 toward this Reserve (up to $35,000). The Reserve’s current balance is a meager $2,500. 


If we exceed our goal and/or spend less than what is budgeted, the Congregation voted to deposit any ‘leftover’ funds in the Endowment Fund designated for Capital Expenditures where it will be available for future improvements to our campus.
