Realizing Our Vision: Not for Us Alone
Our church has been on a clear upward trajectory over the last few years.
We have:
- Been growing in people and programs.
- Deepened our worship experiences.
- Expanded offerings for children and youth.
- Created new musical ministries.
- Increased involvement in our community.
- Become a welcoming congregation.
- Been working toward Green Sanctuary status for our environmental efforts.
- Been developing new ways to extend a caring hand to our members and friends of the congregation.
…we have a vibrant, caring congregation that has made possible all the recent changes that have expanded what we have to offer the world.
… we know we have more to do. Our church has long served the geographic area, and we want to continue to be a beacon of liberal religion in Portage and neighboring counties. We know there are many more people in our area who yearn for what we have to offer.
… we have come to recognize that our physical facilities are limiting what we can do. For our church to be a fully welcoming and impactful presence in our community, we need more space:
- A larger social hall to host events.
- Bigger spaces for our bursting religious education program.
- A larger sanctuary space to hold all who need our healing message.
Come, let us do this together. Be part of our new capital campaign, Realizing the Vision: Not for Us Alone.
As Co-Chairs of the campaign, we ask you to join us in making a pledge to grow our church in spirit, love, and programs for all ages.
In faith,
Marion Yeagler and Kathy Kerns
