Thanks to everyone who has generously supported the capital campaign to renovate our Historic Church. The project is on schedule to be completed in July as planned!
Because we’re nearing the end of construction, all our payments are coming due. We ask those who can to complete their pledge. This will enable the church to reduce the amount we have to borrow for a bridge loan.
For any questions regarding this, please contact Director of Stewardship and Planned Giving Eric Malnassy.
