VIDEO: Nov 27, 2022 Special Offering
 

Church Family,

In case you missed the announcement on Sunday, we wanted to let you know about a special Building Together offering coming up on November 27.

Building Together is our church’s shared commitment to a season of intentional investment into our facilities as tools for God’s kingdom. At its heart, it is about creating great spaces where where people can encounter Jesus and find community. In the first phase of Building Together (January 2018 through January 2022), we received $2,404,928 in gifts, enabling us to pay down over $600,000 of principle on our Southeast mortgage along with finishing many important projects at Connors Hill and Sherwood Park.

Thank you for your gifts!

In the current phase (February 2022 through April 2025), we have received just over $680,000 in gifts and commitments towards our goal of $1.5 million. This giving will allow us to pay down an additional $300,000 of debt on our Southeast site, finish the roof over our Connors Hill sanctuary (nearly completed now), and completely renovate the Sherwood Park kitchen along with addressing basement safety concerns. If we can reach our three-year goal of $1.5 million, we will also be able to update the Connors Hill gym and kids ministry areas, renovate the Sherwood Park basement and kids ministry areas, and pay off additional debt. 

As we continue to move forward, we want to ask that you would use this time to prayerfully consider giving towards Building Together on or before November 27th, over and above your regular giving, either through a one time gift or by setting up monthly giving. If you have already given or made a commitment in this season, we want to take this opportunity to say thank you! Every gift makes a difference.

To learn more or give now, please visit building-together.ca or pick up an information envelope near the Building Together sign in any of our site foyers. 

Thank you again for your generosity.

The Building Together Team

November 2021 Building Together survey results.
 

Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses to our Building Together survey in November! We received over 100 responses from our Central family. We want to share some of our key findings with you:

  • 98.1% of respondents agree that we should continue to support Building Together

  • 43.3% of respondents said that they trust the Building Together and facility teams to allocate the funds at their discretion among the 3 Central sites

  • A further 34.6% of respondents said that we should continue with a balanced approach to efforts between the 3 sites.

  • 11.5% of respondents said that we should concentrate our efforts on getting the CH basement and gym renovation completed.

  • 9.6% of respondents said that we should concentrate our efforts towards paying down debt at the Southeast site.

We are so grateful for the number of people who expressed willingness to give and willingness to volunteer. We were also very encouraged by the interest in coming to an early meeting and those that would consider an early commitment. We received countless helpful comments and are taking all of them to heart as we move forward with Building Together in 2022. November 2021 Building Together survey results.
