Hello friends
Our church began noticing something heartbreaking. We had visitors coming—sometimes 10 to 20 guests at a time through Bible studies, community outreach, and personal invitations.
But many did not stay.
The church was an old bank that we used the basement for our sanctuary. For some of our elderly guests, going up and down the stairs was difficult. For mothers carrying babies, diaper bags, and little children, it was simply too hard.
We knew something had to change.
So by faith, we began a remodel project to make our church more welcoming, more accessible, and more ready for the people God is sending.
What we thought would cost around $40,000 has now grown to more than double that amount.
As work began, we discovered serious hidden problems:
All of our windows were leaking.
The women’s restroom had black mold.
The furnace was inadequate.
And now we’ve learned the roof has six separate areas needing repair to stop active leaks
Yet through it all, God has been faithful.
We started with only $2,000 and our faith.
Since then:
MAP funds generously donated $5,000
Our church members have sacrificially given over $12,000
Surrounding churches and our conference have also given generously.
We are deeply grateful.
But to fully address the roof and mold issues, we still need an additional $20,000.
Today, we are asking for your help.
You can support this mission through:
1. Prayer for wisdom, provision, and progress
2. Donating items for our upcoming yard/bake sale resale fundraiser.
3. Financial contributions of any amount
Every gift matters.
This is more than a building project.
This is about creating a safe, welcoming place where all people can worship, families can grow, children can learn about Jesus, and visitors can feel at home.
If God places it on your heart to help, we would be so thankful.
Together, we can finish what faith began.
Thank you, and may God bless you.❤️🎁❤️
