QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

What is a capital stewardship campaign?

A capital stewardship campaign is a church-wide concerted effort to raise funds for the purchase of development of real estate.


Why are we starting a capital campaign?

In order to realize the long standing ision to have a larger facility for the sole purpose of worshipping God.


How much should I be expected to give?

There is no set formula or "my fair share." Each of us should begin to seek the Lord for direction on how much He desires to provide through us. Our giving should be above and beyond our tithe and missions giving and should involve sacrifice and an act of faith on our part.


How long do I have to fulfill my commitment?

Giving will be spread out over a 36-month period. You can give weekly, monthly, or in one-time gifts. Some may also wish to donate tangible assets. If apporpriate, the church will issue a letter of receipt for those items and you may include teir reasonable or market value in your charitable giving on your tax return.


Will anyone contact me regarding my giving?

No! We will be asking for all of us to make a "Pledge" - that is, an indication of what finaces you believe God will provide through you. Your giving is a covenant between you and God and is based only on His leading. no one will call on you and you will not be under any legal obligation to fulfill your pledge. It is important to remember that this is not so much an issue about raising money or building buildings as it is about our hearing God's voice, stepping out in faith, and watching as He provides and uses each of us to fulfill His calling on this church!
