Together Campaign

On Sunday, February 28th, we celebrated that we have raised $573,008 in the Together Campaign!  We also received exactly 60 intent cards - meeting the challenge goal!  (As of June 2021 we are just shy of $600,000.)


On May 31st, 2021, a resounding 76% of the voting members voted in favor of taking out a loan so that we can build the first two phases of the renovation at the same time.  We are now working with the architect to make these goals a reality:

  • the building will better reflect God's mission
  • people of all abilities will be together in the building, this includes an elevator and new accessible bathrooms
  • the band led worship service and choir led worship will be together in a more flexible Sanctuary
  • more space for comfort-giving ministries

More information in the members section.


If you have not already done so, you can still mail your intent card into the church office.  Every donation will make a difference, as we build out God's Mission TOGETHER.
