Our goal is to be able to grow to approximately 300 members. We have
set this as our goal because we believe that at that number we would
be able to begin and help to support new works in the area. It would
be great if congregations in the Northeast could get to the point where
they could support church plantings in our region. This is our hope.
And this is one important reason why we want to build a facility that
would allow us to grow to a greater number. Our desire to grow is based
on our desire to spread God's word and to assist others in doing the same.
We ask you, today, to do two things: (1) Pray for us. What we say to God
is more important than what we say to people. (2) Share with us any
information regarding those who might be willing to join hands with us in
providing the monies necessary to build. Direct us toward sources of
potential help to our mission.
However, we need help to make this a reality. At our present size we can
pay for the land, but are not able to construct a building on it.
Construction costs are presently running at $75 to $100 per square foot.
We would like to construct a two story building with 7,500 square feet on
each level. This would provide us with the auditorium, classroom, and
fellowship space needed to grow to members.
We are asking that you consider us in your future missionary budgets. We
believe this to be a missionary work and not a building fund work. It is
the need to further evangelize in the area that has brought us to this
point, and not the want of a big building. We pray and hope that you can
assist us in carrying out this work.
