Why have a Capital Campaign now?

 It is never a convenient time for a Capital Campaign, is it?  We have let God’s house continue in disrepair long enough, and our facility cries out for attention.  If our overgrown parking lot and leaky roof didn’t get us to take notice, certainly, the electrical box that caught on fire was the writing on the wall that we must maintain God’s house.  While no burning bush, perhaps this was a sign from God. 

How does this Capital Campaign support mission and ministry? 

Our church is a bustling center for ministry, with worship, Sunday School, Covenant Kids, Youth, choirs, ESL, support groups, Early Childhood Development, Boy Scouts, and Brownies.  There are many more groups, activities, and missions. By maintaining our facility, we insure that the radical ministry our church supports will continue, and that we will be able to support new ones in the future. 

But shouldn’t we spend more discretionary dollars on missions?

 For years our congregation has supported missions above and beyond our annual budgets through stock sales, communion offerings, and second mile giving. By failing to maintain Holy Covenant United Methodist Church, we undermine our missions. 

What will be the result of a successful Capital Campaign? 

We can be confident that by being better stewards of the property of Holy Covenant United Methodist Church, we will have a clean, safe and welcoming place.  Our goal is to assure that it remains a welcoming center of the many missions we want to see continue and grow.  We will “Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” (Romans 15:7)
