GROWING THE DREAM
Over the past few weeks you’ve heard about the “Growing the Dream” Capital Stewardship Campaign
13 years ago, the ICN family stepped out in faith and doubled the size of this facility to comfortably accommodate 500 people
God has blessed that dream! Average Sunday worship attendance now exceeds that number at 524 people But the dream was never intended to end there…
Now it is OUR TIME to respond by Growing The Dream to make room for more people, more Christ followers and more life transformation.
We are at a key decision point in ICN’s future!
Your Pastors and Church Board recommend that we step out in faith and fund the “Growing the Dream” Capital Stewardship Campaign over a 3-Year time span.
Estimated Project Costs Building Renovations (church/aux bldgs) $698,064 Parking Lot $300,000 Church Building Update $375,000 (flooring, café, security system, HVAC units) Total Cost = $1,373,064 Designated Funds on hand (4/2015) - $89,301 New Funds Needed = $1,283,763
How can we accomplish something that costs so much? Goal: 100% Participation Not Equal Gifts, but Equal Sacrifice
