How were our gifts from the last Lifestyle
Capital Stewardship Campaign that started
in 2006 used?
The first Campaign provided a tremendous level of support toward
the goal of building our new church. We were able to cover the
necessary pre-development costs and keep the project moving
forward despite the economic recession that has fallen on our nation
during the past several years. Without any bank financing and solely
with your support, Grace has been able to purchase and
decontaminate, in the case of the gas station, all necessary property
to expand our physical presence to West Second Street and South
Seventh Avenue. (The garage property is being used for storage until
we can begin construction.) We have completed architectural
drawings and construction plans for the new Cathedral. We have
also incurred legal expenses and completed all required
environmental and site studies to secure our building permits from
the City of Mount Vernon.
