Visit and Be Counted!

About 300 households have responded generously to our 2015 Capital Campaign appeal with a pledge, and we are very grateful. Many more households have responded by increasing their giving to the building fund. That’s what Pastor Duane and I have heard on recent visits with members.  The faithful generosity of our members continues to inspire us. We know we can count on you…but are you being counted?

Here’s the issue: If you increase your giving before meeting with a Capital Campaign visitor, your giving will not be counted toward the Capital Campaign total. 

This makes it a challenge for our Church Council to plan our ministry over the next five years. Council needs an accurate understanding of campaign commitments in order to:

1. Plan the pay-down of SOTV’s debt 
2. Determine what funds are available for building improvements 
3. Allocate benevolence dollars for outreach 

Simply put, we need you to schedule a campaign visit today. Please reach out to me, one of the other pastors, or someone in our list of visitors that you know personally.

You can also call the church office or go to our website. When a campaign visitor calls or emails you, please respond. Visits are fun, rewarding, informative, and there is no pressure to pledge. Even if you’ve recently increased your giving, please still schedule a visit. You will be better informed and understand the plan for SOTV’s future.

As always, thank you for your partnership in this mission we share!
