Dear Church Family:

Recent years at Grace Church have been exciting. We have witnessed a blossoming of this church and its ministries, and our church family has grown significantly as a result. Challenges always accompany opportunities. As in the past, we are moving forward in faith and confidence that God will continue to provide whatever is needed to make His ministries as strong and effective as possible.

In the past 15 years, Grace has earned a reputation in this community as a church that loves children and youth. Through this mission focus we have been able to make more and better disciples of Jesus. We remain committed to the very real love of Jesus Christ, and this requires a continued investment of ourselves in the lives of others.

Because of the unique opportunities God has placed before us, we are embarking on a capital fund campaign. Our goal is to be able to finance the facilities and programs needed to minister to our community. In particular, it is clear that we lack ample space to minister to the existing populations of children, youth, and adults - not to mention the potential for future growth. Our theme for this campaign is "Building Grace, Raising Faith." I believe that this theme captures the spirit of who we are as a church and what we are trying to accomplish for the Kingdom of God.

My hope and prayer is that you will support our "Building Grace, Raising Faith" program. Your prayers, participation and support are greatly needed and valued. In coming weeks you will receive information that answers many of the questions frequently asked about this campaign. Next month will bring additional details of the project.

May God bless you and make you bold in your service for Him.

In His Service,
