Final Capital Campaign Push
When we faced a $1.5 million shortfall to realize this vision in 2023, our largest donors stepped up generously and miraculously to close the gap. However, many others haven’t yet had the chance to contribute to this “final push.”
This is that moment. We all have the opportunity to provide the resources needed to complete the project while contractors are still on-site, and when we have such forward momentum.
The Goal: $200,000 – $300,000
To date, we’ve raised over $4 million for this capital project across multiple campaigns. Now, raising this final portion will help us fund our most urgent priorities and complete the dream we began.

Estimated Cost |

Mission. In the spirit of tithing, Session has determined that 10% of all moneys raised will be devoted to mission—specifically, to The Community Well. |
10% of all gifts raised |
|
Eliminating any long-term debt. This is the “eat your spinach” responsible priority. We hope there won’t be any long-term debt but if there is we will devote up to $50,000 to paying it off. |
$0-$50,000 |
|
IT integration for the Atrium and South Lobby. The next priority is also a “have to do” while the walls and ceiling are open. |
$33,000-$36,000 |
|
Fellowship Center and Kitchen upgrades. Improved flooring by polishing the concrete; replacing current lighting; refinishing walls; Luxury Vinyl Tiles over black concrete at north entrance; clerestory window shades. |
$55,000 – $97,000 |
|
North bathroom upgrades. A little bit of upgrading can go a long way: new lighting, tile and grout cleaning, dividers. |
$18,000 – $22,000 |
|
Atrium patio and landscaping. A concrete, brick, and bluestone patio outside the Atrium would beautifully integrate the outdoor space of the graveyard. This would include all of the landscaping around the new project, which we removed as part of “value engineering” when we feared lack of resources to do the whole project. If we raise enough to build the Atrium Patio, members and friends will have an opportunity to “Buy a Brick” as part of the patio construction. |
$46,000 – $67,000 |
|
Security upgrades. We want to keep our facility as safe as possible, as appropriately as possible. Much will be paid for by government grants, but we will need to provide some of the funding. |
$10,000- $15,000 |
|
TOTALS |
$162,000 – $287,000 |
