THE VISION
Check out this brief video to get a glimpse of the vision and expectations of the Open Door Capital Improvement Campaign!
Open Door Capital Campaign
A Brief Update
In April of 2023 we launched the Open Door Campaign to raise $1 million to support our food pantry, remodel our kids area, and implement several capital improvement projects to update our 17 year old building. Learn more about the original vision of the campaign (link to vision video.)
In October of 2024, we wrapped up the campaign. We now have a beautiful newly remodeled kids area. Our old barn has been converted into usable meeting space, and we have an incredible new pantry building!
The Open Door Campaign may have wrapped up, but we still have more to do. Therefore, contributions to the Open Door Campaign are still being accepted. If you would like to give, please go to the link below and select the fund “Open Door Campaign.” You may also mail a check or drop one in a giving box on Sunday, just put “Open Door” in the memo.
We have created something called "The Giving Discipleship Journey" that helps explain how we view the journey of a generous giver. Please check it out, consider where you might be on your own journey, and ask God to show you where He is leading you next.
We know it is important for you to see the vision and plans for the money raised. Scroll down to see the three major focus areas of the Open Door Campaign!
Major Children's Area Remodel
We responded to the needs of our county during the COVID pandemic and launched a food pantry in our closed down children’s area. Today, kid’s ministry is now growing, and it is time to reclaim the space! We are excited to partner with a gifted design team to reimagine both the upstairs and downstairs children’s areas as we remodel and repair it to serve a world-class children’s ministry. Your kids matter!
New Building for the Food Pantry
Serving over 1500 people a week, the state of Maryland has recognized the pantry with a $500,000 building grant given to the Love Wins Movement. This will partially fund relocating the pantry to a building of its own behind the barn, and the barn will also be renovated. The pantry has become a reliable source of support for many, and we as the church are making a difference in our community. Serving matters!
General Capital Improvements
It’s amazing to see all the ways our building is used nearly every day of the week to serve our ministries and our community. Our building is also 17 years old, and it is time for some updates. Whether it’s addressing infrastructure needs, upgrading awnings, improving signage, or replacing furniture, we want everything on our campus and in our facilities to point beautifully to Jesus. Excellence matters!
