Capital Campaign
Accomplishing God’s great vision of being fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ will require physical resources as well as spiritual resources. We believe that adding to Hillsboro’s current facilities will allow ministry to expand and God’s kingdom to grow.
Hillsboro is, and always has been, a very generous congregation, and has risen to meet challenging financial goals in the past. Some thirty-five years ago, this congregation embarked on a Vision of Faith to build our current facilities. In today’s terms they were giving $2,000 dollars less per week and the bulding cost was well over $9 million dollars (adjusted figures).
Our objective for this Vision of Faith campaign is Equal Sacrifice, Not Equal Giving. We anticipate the final costs of our expansion to be around 7.5 million dollars for all phases currently being considered.
A special Million Dollar Day will be held on Sunday, December 30. Our faith goal is to raise $750,000 over and above our regular contribution. This money, added to previous gifts in the amount of $400,000, will serve as a starting point to begin construction on our new addition. Million Dollar Day will be followed by a Three-Year Pledge Campaign to raise the balance of the $7.5 million needed to complete construction and renovation.
We solicit your help in several ways to reach these goals.
1) Pray daily for this effort. There is no way we can do this on our own; it will only be accomplished by the great power that comes through God.
2) Join us in a special 24-hour Day of Prayer on December 29-30. Everyone will have an opportunity to participate in this effort. Pray that His power will be revealed in us through this day.
3) Prepare to make a year-end contribution on Sunday, December 30, to support our Million Dollar Day.
4) Begin thinking about a three-year financial commitment to help us reach our $7.5 million campaign goal.
Again, please be praying for this effort and for how you and your family can participate in our Day of Prayer, Million Dollar Day and our Three-year Campaign. May God bless us as we honor Him in all that we do.
