$360,000 goal
16 months ago, we launched our IMPACT campaign, and while it may not have been clear exactly what we were raising money for or even the amount, we knew that we were being called to trust in God’s plan for expanding ministry at HOPE. Today we are excited to share that we have a clearer picture of what our future might look like. Our masterplan of potential expansion areas includes an expanded sanctuary to seat over 250, an open concept lobby and connector, additional parking, and other needs of our growing church. With this masterplan in place we are confidently praying and stepping forward together.
Thank you so much to each of you who have contributed in any way to the IMPACT Campaign! We set an initial campaign milestone of raising $200,000. God’s people answered with a generous response that has now exceeded $222,000 and grows almost daily! When we bring our offerings to the Lord, we are giving back to him a portion of what he has first so graciously given to us. While simultaneously walking in faith and also being good stewards, the vision for Phase 1 is projected to cost approximately $1.8 million.Therefore, to receive a loan and move forward we have set our Phase 1 milestone at $360,000. Our goal date to raise this additional $138,000 is December 31st, 2021.
Please pray about generously supporting this campaign that will Lord -willing create a lasting IMPACT on people's lives with the forgiveness and love of Jesus - not just now but for generations to come. Proverbs 3:5 says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."May God continue to bless our efforts moving forward with one purpose - to Share the Sure Hope of Heaven with souls that God has entrusted to us!

What if we don’t reach our final goal? If we don’t reach our final goal in this campaign, we will keep working, saving, and donating until we get there. However, with prayer and your help, we’re confident we’ll make it.
What if I don’t have a lump sum to give now but will in the future? You’re not alone. In fact, not many do have lump sums sitting around. Give what your heart is moved to give now and give at a later date as well. Additionally, you can post date a check and give during two calendar years, 2020 & 2021, to maximize your tax benefit.
Is this campaign only for church members? No way! This is a huge project for our church, so we appreciate and help from friends, family, or anyone you know who has a heart for our mission-minded church.
Lump Sum Gift: A one-time lump sum gift such as a tax refund, house sale, or simply a cash offering.
Cash Flow Gifts: A person or family can contribute large fits by giving smaller amounts at higher frequencies, such as weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly.
Redirected Funds Gifts: Freeing up funds which currently go to other areas allows a person to increase giving to God’s work. Redirecting funds from entertainment, dining out, dues, subscriptions, gifts, allowances, utilities, or cable are all small lifestyle adjustments which will impact one’s giving.
Income Producing Assets: Interest income, payments from rental properties, certificates of deposit, stock dividends, or bond coupon payments provide a source for increased giving.
Appreciated Securities: By making a gift of appreciated securities (stocks or mutual fund) you can receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value and avoid capital gains tax liability.
IRA Distributions: Individuals 70 ½ or older may choose to give directly from their IRAs rather than having to take a distribution that may trigger a tax liability. Currently, the rules allow you to save on taxes by directing your distribution to a names charity.
