Capital Campaign: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is SOTV doing a capital campaign? 
A: Our Vision calls us to invite all people to experience the welcome, transformation and sending of Jesus Christ. The purpose of the campaign is to help us live into our vision.

Q: How will the capital campaign do this?
 A: By addressing the three major priorities identified last fall at the 25 congregational dialogues: eliminating debt, improving our facility, and expanding our outreach.

Q: How is the campaign being conducted? 
A: Through visits with each household. We believe it is important for every SOTV household to receive the same accurate information with a personal, confidential visit conducted by a trained volunteer.

Q: How long will the campaign last? 
A: Our goal is to conclude all visits by the end of May, but the campaign will not end until we make certain every household has been contacted for a visit.

 Q: Why do I need a visit? 
A: To make certain you receive accurate information and have the opportunity to ask questions about your participation.

Q: How long does a visit take? Where can I have my visit? 
A: Visits can be done in 30 – 45 minutes in the privacy of your home or at the church.

Q: Do I need to make a commitment to the campaign during my visit?
 A: Once your visit has concluded, you can either make a confidential commitment at that time or you can take time to consider and pray about your pledge and make your confidential commitment a few days later.

Q: Who will know what I pledge?
 A: What you pledge is entirely confidential. Only the SOTV Finance Office and our campaign consultant will know your pledge, because they are required to track all pledges. Your visitor will not know.

Q: Who should I contact for more information or to schedule my/our visit?
A: You may contact any of the visitors listed on our website, or call the church office at 952-432-6351.
