Capital Fund Appeal - We are conducting a capital fund appeal to raise the resources needed to complete this project. We are making this appeal because of our Christian faith expressed in our mission statement; our desire to preserve the historical beauty of our building and our community's downtown; and our committment to strengthening our presence and witness in this community. This appeal will include committments from congregation members, grant requests to several foundations, and requests for support from current community members and others who have had past ties with First Presbyterian.
Final plans will be developed following the fund appeal. Once we understand the level of committment in the congregation and the community, we will better be able to enter into construction and loan contracts that are prudent for us. If the total raised falls short, funds could be borrowed from Presbyterian Church U.S.A., with the expectation of servicing the debt and interest with a second capital appeal. In the long run, it will be superior financially if everyone gives more now rather than to increase the final cost with a loan or delay part of the full renovation.
