After the Burning of our MortgageWhat is Next for the Building
Fund?
By the way of history, in June 1999 the Churchborrowed $815,000
to construct Fellowship Hall. Themortgage was 16 years and was
scheduled to be paid off in June 2015. Through our faithfulness,
good stewardshipand, of course, Gods blessing we were able to pay
off the mortgage nearly three years early, saving a
substantialamount in interest.
As we celebrate this great accomplishment, we need toremember
that we still have a second mortgage that mustbe paid. In June
2010, the Church borrowed $310,000 torenovate and finish the youth
area and basement among
other improvements. The current balance on themortgage is
approximately $290,000. This mortgage isscheduled to be paid off in
June 2026. ESSA has recentlyindicated that it is willing to reduce
the interest rate onthe mortgage from 6% to 4.625% while keeping
all otherterms the same.
We are asking that everyone continue to remainfaithful in your
giving and continue to utilize the BuildingFund o ption on your
weekly envelope. With yourcontinued giving each week, we hope to
also pay off thismortgage early. The Steering Team has set a goal
of paying this mortgage off in 7 years, which will require amonthly
payment of $3,882. This will again save a greatdeal in interest,
money that can be used for programmingand furthering our mission.
If you have any questions,please see our Lay Leader Jeff Durney or
call the churchoffice at 421-3280.
