This figure was determined after a professional assessment of our entire physical plant. It covers three vital areas:

• Immediate Needs ($1.25 million): Replacing the 25-year-old HVAC systems and urgent structural repairs.

• Strategic Updates ($1 million): Modernizing spaces to serve our growing congregation over the next 10 years.

• Sustainability ($750,000):Seeding the FPC Foundation endowment to fund future maintenance.

Historically, we have addressed building issues as they arise. By establishing an endowed Foundation fund for physical plant maintenance, we are moving toward a proactive model. This endowment will generate interest to cover routine repairs, ensuring we remain good stewards of our resources and avoid emergency campaigns in the future.

While one-time gifts are deeply appreciated, we are accepting three to five-year pledge payment commitments. Spreading your gift over 36 to 60 months allows more opportunity for payment planning and budgeting than a single check.

Yes. All contributions to the "A Place to Gather and Grow" campaign are tax-deductible. You will receive an annual statement for your records.

Our annual budget covers the day-to-day operations, staff, and programs of the church. This capital campaign is a "second mile" request for extraordinary capital needs that fall outside our yearly operating expenses. We ask that members maintain their regular tithes while considering an additional gift to this campaign.

Absolutely. We can accept gifts of appreciated stock, RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions) from IRAs, or other assets. These can often provide significant tax advantages for the donor. Please contact the church office for transfer instructions.
