“THE NEHEMIAH PROJECT”
The Magnification Ministry Team in cooperation with the Building and Upkeep Ministry Team recommends that the church establish a fund called “The Nehemiah Project”.
“The Nehemiah Project” is a Sanctuary Renovation Capital Stewardship Campaign. Our goal is tiered as follows: “Gold Level”: $125,000; “Silver Level”: $100,000. Only designated “Nehemiah” monies will be spent on project unless other monies are specifically approved by the church in conference. Renovation will be prioritized and will only move forward as monies are received.
Initial plans are to replace sanctuary roof, front porch columns, exterior & interior doors, ceiling tiles, carpet, paint Sanctuary interior, and repair pews. Other repairs and purchases will be necessary as work progresses and will be completed at the discretion of the Building and Upkeep Ministry Team.
