Hi Church,

I wanted to give you a quick update on our Legacy Fund. As a reminder, the Legacy Fund covers all capital expenses for our New Life property and building. Our long-term goal is to build the fund to a level where the interest it generates can cover these expenses for generations to come.

Over the past three years, we’ve spent approximately $200,000 on critical building needs. These have included chimney and masonry repairs, emergency tree removals, slate roof and floor joist repairs, and even the use of cranes to replace rooftop HVAC units—just to name a few.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and strong end-of-year giving, we’ve received $830,000 toward the Legacy Fund. These gifts have enabled us to meet current capital needs and begin building a reserve for the future. Our goal is to reach a balance of $1.8 million. As of now, the fund stands at $430,000.

Please join us in praying that God would bless this effort and provide what we need to steward our property well for future generations.

Rick Keith, on Behalf of the Elder and Minister Team
