Help Us Pave the Way to Our Future
We stand at the threshold of an incredible journey together – one that will shape the future of our beloved church and
community! With great joy and anticipation, we unveil “Pave the Way,” our visionary three-year capital campaign set to transform our church into a beacon of hope, hospitality, and lasting legacy.
Exciting new plans are in place as we reconstruct the parking lot, redesign the Route 537 driveway, reduce indebtedness, replenish reserves to proactively address capital expenses, and recommend funding for new ministry opportunities. These require funding – thus this capital campaign is in the works.
Informational sessions (see below for the schedule) will be held throughout the fall leading up to Pledge Sunday, November 24th, 2024.
Let’s pave the way, together!

Generosity Guide
How does one decide how much to give to the “Pave the Way” Capital Campaign? That’s between you and God. There is a scripture passage that says, “Not everyone has been blessed in a similar way”. Sacrificial giving is an element of the Christian faith. Whatever amount you give will represent something that is a heartfelt spiritual decision and not simply an afterthought or an obligation.
