St. Matthew UMC

• We have seen why we need to make extensive repairs to our Sanctuary Building, Bell Tower and Covered Walkways.

• While we don’t have the exact cost of the repairs, the Finance Committee has set $2,000,000 as our maximum to be used for these repairs.

How Will We Raise the Funds Needed?

1) Our Faith, Our Family, Our Future - current Capital Campaign

2) Mortgage

3) Land Sale

4) Bridge the gap with a new Capital Campaign
