In January of 2024, The Peoples Church congregation voted overwhelmingly to launch a capital campaign with a goal of raising $5 million to make essential repairs and upgrades inside of our aging church building. The vision for the capital campaign has been well defined in our Case Statement, which further explains our mission of service and why these upgrades are important.

Our capital campaign is split into three phases (see our brochure for more detail):

Phase I: The Social Hall - The project proposal for the Social Hall addresses the need for a safe and accessible stage, a new HVAC system, new lighting, new audio/visual capacities for a variety of services, and a welcoming and functional venue for both church events and community groups.

Phase II: The Sanctuary - The project proposal for the Sanctuary addresses the need for a safer, more accessible and extended chancel that allows for wider steps and an integrated ramp, a new HVAC system, and realigned pews that are more accessible and comfortable.

Phase III: The Organ - The proposal for our organ is to replace it altogether. While under the care of a reputable group of technicians, the current organ is in a near constant state of disrepair.

Impactful Community Outreach Project - The vision of the capital campaign extends beyond repairs and renovations in the church. We also plan to undertake a community outreach project that will benefit people in need with our time, talents, and treasure. Specifically, we’ll partner with two nonprofit organizations to help provide community housing opportunities for local adults on the autism spectrum.

You can support this outreach by contributing financially, or by volunteering your time. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for this project, please click here.
