Future Foundations VV1 Campaign Begins
By God’s grace and kindness, Immanuel is closer than ever to having a more permanent location and building, a place from which we can worship the Lord, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, plant churches, and love our neighbors for generations to come.
Last month, Immanuel Church voted to move forward with the Valley Vista Phase One Project (or VV1). This initial project includes the site preparation and construction of a multipurpose building and parking lot. This building will allow us to move out of all our current rental spaces and move all current ministries to the Valley Vista location.
Campaign Goals
The estimated cost of this phase is $4,250,000. As we shared at the October Family Meeting, our ultimate desire is to complete this project without incurring any debt. And we believe that this is possible through the work of the Lord and the generosity of his people.
The Valley Vista Campaign begins this month and will run through the completion of the Valley Vista Phase 1 Project (VV1). With approximately $698,000 already saved for this project, our first and immediate goal is to raise an additional $552,000. This amount would close the gap between cash on hand and the financing amount available. We would like to raise this amount by May 2023.
Campaign Invitation
Pray
Toward this goal, we invite everyone at Immanuel to consider giving to this project. Would you prayerfully consider what you might give in wisdom, in faith, and in joy?
- In wisdom. As you prayerfully consider this request, ask the Lord for wisdom. Ask him to show you what you should give. He promises he will give you wisdom if you ask (James 1:5).
- In faith. As you prayerfully consider this request, consider what you could give in faith. Everything we do should proceed from faith (Romans 14:23), and we should act according to our faith (Romans 12:3), whether that is great or small.
- In joy. As you prayerfully consider this request, consider what you could give with joy. Paul writes, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
May the Lord faithfully lead you in this prayerful consideration!
Give
There are two ways you may give.
- Recurring Gift. With the construction spanning at least a year, we invite everyone to consider setting up an ongoing gift to span this project. This can be done in Realm.
- One-Time Gift. You may also consider giving a one-time gift during our special giving Sunday, November 27th.
Brothers and sisters, since our beginnings in 2016, the Lord has displayed his grace and power to us time and time again. We are truly excited to witness what He will do in and through Immanuel Church as we trust and follow him on this journey.
For His glory!
The Elders
Baptism Service: Sunday, November 20th
Have you been baptized? If you have put your faith in Jesus, we invite you to follow Him in baptism (Matt. 28:19-20). In baptism, we display our trust in Jesus’ death and testify to the new life we have in Him (Rom. 6:3-4). If you need to be baptized or would like to talk to someone about baptism, contact us or reach out to one of our elders.
