Making Disciples - Transforming the World

Capital CampaignDear Members of Our Beloved Congregation, Grace and peace to you all. As a church and preschool community, we have always cherished our mission to provide a safe and nurturing environment for everyone who enters our doors. This sanctuary has been a place of worship, growth, fellowship, and learning—a beacon of love and support for all. However, recent unsettling incidents have illuminated the urgent need to enhance our security measures to ensure the continued safety and well-being of our congregation, staff, and children. To address vulnerabilities, we have installed a new security system designed to safeguard our church and preschool. This system incorporates surveillance cameras, alarms, and secure access controls. It serves as both a deterrent to intruders and a means of real-time monitoring, enabling us to promptly detect and respond to any suspicious activity. By investing in this infrastructure, we are taking steps to protect our property and, most importantly, to create an environment where our community can thrive in peace and safety for years to come. Now, we turn to you—our cherished congregation—to help us in this endeavor. The total cost of installing this security system is $22,000. The leadership council budgeted $15,000 to cover this expense. We wrote and submitted a grant to the United Methodist Foundation, but unfortunately the request has been denied. As a result we are launching a capital campaign to cover the remaining $7,000 and humbly ask for your support and contributions. Every gift, no matter the size, will bring us closer to our goal and will have a direct impact on the safety and well-being of our community. Your generosity has always been a cornerstone of our strength as a church, and we are confident that, together, we can rise to meet this challenge. By contributing to this campaign, you are not only investing in the physical security of our church and preschool but also reaffirming your commitment to the values of safety, care, and unity that define who we are. If you feel moved to support this campaign, donations can be made directly to the church office, through our website, or during Sunday services. Please mark your contribution as “Security Campaign” to ensure it is allocated appropriately. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further, do not hesitate to reach out to our administrative team. Thank you for your unwavering faith, your ongoing commitment, and your willingness to step forward in times of need. Together, we can ensure that our church continues to be a place of refuge, worship, and learning for all. May God bless and keep you always. In faith and service, Your Leadership CouncilClick Here to Donate |
