Building Renewal Campaign

Photo of the crane working on the spireIn 2007, we realized that our 40-year-old spiritual home was in desperate need of repair. The roof was leaking; the decks, which are the roofs to the lower level, were leaking; and our downstairs was shabby. 

Thus, we launched the Building Renewal Campaign with the goal of raising sufficient funds over a five-year period ending in 2011. 

To date, we have raised $648,000 from a variety of sources as this chart demonstrates.

We need $91,000 in additional pledges and donations to complete our renewal project. Click on this chart to see how the money has been allocated.

LET'S FINISH THE JOB!
