CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

WHY ARE WE UNDERTAKING

A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN?

For over 100 years, The Peoples Church has been a place of Christian worship, fellowship, and outreach. Our historic building was constructed and dedicated in 1924, the result of the faith, vision, and generosity of generations long past. Yet after a century of use, we must address pressing capital repair issues if we intend to continue our mission of service to God and bring our building into the 21st. Century.

In February of 2022, the The Peoples Church Council of Elders authorized the pursuit of a capital campaign to address the needs of our aging church. The vision for the capital campaign has been well defined in our
Case Statement.

Our proposed capital campaign is split into three phases (See our capital campaign brochure for more detail):

Phase I: The Social Hall - The project proposal for the Social Hall addresses the need for a safe and accessible stage, a new HVAC system, new lighting, new audio/visual capacities for a variety of services, and a welcoming and functional venue for both church events and community groups.

Phase II: The Sanctuary - The project proposal for the Sanctuary addresses the need for a safer, more accessible and extended chancel that allows for wider steps and an integrated ramp, a new HVAC system, and realigned pews that are more accessible and comfortable.

Phase III: The Organ - The proposal for our organ is to replace it altogether. While under the care of a reputable group of technicians, the current organ is in a near constant state of disrepair.

Impactful Community Outreach Project - The vision of the capital campaign extends beyond repairs and renovations in the church. We also hope to undertake a community outreach project that will benefit people in need with our time, talents, and treasure. (You can support this project by contributing financially, or by volunteering in the future. If you are interested in being contacted about volunteering for this project, please click here.)

Renderings of these projects have been designed to provide a glimpse into our vision for the Social Hall and the Sanctuary.
