Commitment to go BEYOND!
|
|
Stokesdale United Methodist Church has always sought to reflect God’s love at the heart of our community. As our town grows and our ministries expand, we sense God calling us to prepare for what comes next. The BEYOND Capital Campaign is our faithful response. Together we’ll look to reimagine our fellowship hall, update our kitchen, enhance our welcoming and accessible spaces while building room for future ministries, meals and outreach to the community. Why now? Our church is growing, our community is expanding with new families, yet our gathering spaces are crowded and not fully accessible. This project is more than bricks and mortar—it’s a living sign of our mission to reflect God’s love at the heart of Stokesdale. Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). That’s the spirit of this campaign—to create space where abundant life can flourish for all generations. To go BEYOND what we thought possible, our goal is to raise $1 million in addition to the $325,000 already secured from property sales. This is both a building project and a spiritual journey. I’m asking every household to pray, listen for God’s leading, and consider a three-year commitment beyond your regular giving. On Commitment Sunday, November 23, 2025, we’ll join as one body to offer our gifts. Your response will determine how much we can do—and we can do anything with Christ as our focus. Let’s go BEYOND—together in faith, together in love, together in Christ. —Pastor Ed |
