We Need $425,000 to Purchase these Properties! • This Property is presently a Roman Catholic Church. • The Church has lost most of its members and has had to join with another church in the area. • We have the opportunity of a Lifetime. • The Buildings are in Great Condition. • We are asking for your help.
With Your Help: We can have a Greater Impact on Utica, NY for JESUS’ SAKE
Future Home of the Lighthouse Baptist Christian Academy - Bible Institute & Pre-School
First Floor for Offices & 2nd & 3rd Floors for Staff Housing
Please Pray & Help Financially! • The Campus consists of 4 buildings; The Church, Convent, School and House. • The Church, Convent and the House have new roofs. • The School has a operational Sprinkler System and code ready for a school. • The House has 3 floors in great condition with 5 fireplaces and original oak trim. • The Auditorium seats up to 700 people • The Gym has Men’s & Ladies’ locker rooms
Please Pray about what you can do to Help! • The Church is in a good area and only 5 minutes from our current property. • $425,000 is a steal for these properties. • I was sent out from the Lighthouse Baptist Church in San Diego, CA under Pastor Doug Fisher in 1995. • We are an Inner City Church that began 12 years ago in an abandoned Crack house that had no heat for the first year and no bathrooms for the first 2 years. • After 3 years there, we purchased a building from the city of Utica for $29,000, this is where we are today. • The Lord has blessed over the 12 yrs. since we started the Lighthouse Baptist Church.
FOR JESUS’ SAKE! • An Inner City work doesn’t have the finances of most Churches because many of the members have low income jobs. We have come a long way on our own but now we could use your help. • Our people are committed to give sacrificially by Faith. • I, as the Pastor, have never asked for financial assistance and have worked a full time secular job for the first ten years to start this work, but now I am asking for the brethren’s help to make this possible. • I realize that many of you have your own financial burdens and responsibilities, but if we all do something we can help each other greatly. • I as well as our Church would be greatly indebted to you for your gift of love and will not forget your sacrifice. • Please visit our website at lighthousebaptistutica.com for our statement of faith and more info. on our Church; or call 315-732-2091.
