The general design concept • A new sanctuary at the East end of our campus • A lower level beneath that sanctuary • Renovations to the existing West wing to accommodate teen ministry • Renovations to existing connector hallway for relocated administrative office space
How would this be paid for? • 6 year capital campaign, with two 3 year commitment phases Campaign goal for years 1-3 = $1,350,000 Campaign goal for years 4-6 = $1,100,000 (?) Total goal for years 1-6 ≈ $2,450,000
How would this be paid for? • Using the best information we have right now on financing, reaching these goals would cover all projected costs related to the project • Mortgage principal and interest • Additional utilities expense • Additional expenses related to new ministry we would be doing • What happens in year 7? • Those payments would need to be covered out of the General Fund (regular offerings)
How would this be paid for? • How big of a mortgage payment? • Many unknowns at this juncture • Actual amount raised in capital campaign • Financing terms (interest rate, length) • Ballpark estimate based on our early research and our campaign assumptions • Roughly an extra week’s giving per month (20-25% growth)
Capital campaign timeline • Opening communications sent in February • “Quiet phase” (leadership pledges) beginning in February • Complete literature and information distributed in March • Educational events for “creative” ways to give • April 6 – Commitment Sunday

The Board will only call a special congregational meeting if it’s planning results in expenses greater than described.” An amendment is proposed and adopted to have 30% (approx. $450,000) of the funds in hand or pledged before construction and given by completion.
