How would this be paid for? 6 year capital campaign, with two 3 year commitment phases Campaign goal for years 1-3 = $1,350,000 Campaign goal for years 4-6 = $1,100,000 (?) Total goal for years 1-6 ≈ $2,450,000

How would this be paid for? Using the best information we have right now on financing, reaching these goals would cover all projected costs related to the project – Mortgage principal and interest – Additional utilities expense – Additional expenses related to new ministry we would be doing What happens in year 7? – Those payments would need to be covered out of the General Fund (regular offerings)

How would this be paid for? How big of a mortgage payment? – Many unknowns at this juncture Actual amount raised in capital campaign Financing terms (interest rate, length) – Ballpark estimate based on our early research and our campaign assumptions Roughly an extra week’s giving per month (20-25% growth)

Capital campaign timeline Opening communications sent in February “Quiet phase” (leadership pledges) beginning in February Complete literature and information distributed in March Educational events for “creative” ways to give April 6 – Commitment Sunday
