Capital Campaign
Goal: $5,000,000
June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2011
Focus
1. Financial Support for New Church Development Pastors (Salary & Benefits) - to include compensation and associated benefits.
2. Education, Training and Assessment for Potential New Church Development Pastors and Lay Teams - to include family health & wellness support, coaching, training, retreats and renewal.
3. Land Acquisition - to provide financial support for an initial down payment on land. (We welcome the gift of land and prefer non-designated donations which can be used for the purchase of land at a needed site.) The goal is to purchase (or receive as a gift) 10 acres of land or more for each church although less acreage will be considered depending upon the situation.
4. Resources for New Church “Starter Kits” - chairs, AV, worship resources, technology, childcare equipment and trailer for potential new churches, etc.
Campaign Time
Pledges will take place over a three year period but giving will cover four years. (This allows an extra year for tax purposes, etc.) The three-year giving period starts when a person writes their first check. The campaign will be formally concluded by June 2008 with the pledging running through May 31, 2011. (This is what is called a “rolling start”, and it specifically allows for advance major gifts etc.) In addition, if churches need a longer time to fulfill a church pledge, we will negotiate with them on an individual basis.
