Q:  Why are we planning to build now?

A:  This Community Life Center is part of our original master plan that we adopted in 1999.  We anticipated needing additional facilities, and now the time has come.  We are already overcrowded in children’s space, 9:30 am worship, 9:30 am Sunday School and offices.  In fact, our need is so urgent we have brought in two portable buildings.  Our attendance is projected to double within the next seven years, so we need more space for children, youth and adults.  The Community Life Center will more than double our facilities here at Lynn Haven.

Q:  How much will this building cost?

A:  Our estimate right now is 4-8 million dollars, but our Building Committee has options to make adjustments in the final plans depending on how God provides through this campaign.

Q:  When will construction begin?

A:  Due to current economic conditions, we are proceeding with this project, but at a much slower schedule.  This date is yet to be determined.  Construction should take about one year to complete.

Q:  How long does this campaign last?

            A:  You will be encouraged to make a three-year financial commitment.

Q:  When can I begin to contribute to this campaign?

A:  Pledge cards were originally received on Commitment Sunday, November 18, 2007.  New pledges may be submitted at any time. 

Q:  How does my pledge effect my regular giving to the Ministry Budget?

A:  The pledges that are made to this three-year campaign are intended to be above and beyond your regular giving to the church.  Your regular giving to the Ministry Budget is essential to maintaining the operation and ministry of the church.  Your commitment to the campaign is a sacrificial offering in addition to that.

Q:  Can I give things other than cash?  Property?  Securities?

A:  Yes, many times this can offer tax advantages.  You may contribute stock, mutual funds, real estate, vehicles or other items.

Q:  Can my commitment be revised later?

A:  Absolutely.  As financial and spiritual conditions dictate, your pledge may be adjusted up or down at any time during the campaign.
