With “Above and Beyond,” our focus will be a total approach to stewardship, of which finances are only a part. Due to the fact that we have already paid for the parking lot and that we have paid the majority of architectural fees, we anticipate the project will cost 3.3 million dollars. With this money we can not only build the office and fellowship hall, but also renovate the vacated space immediately!
The amount may seem great, but what God is doing among our people is even greater. With five full time ministers and two full time secretaries working in the office throughout the week, and to have a more professional and inviting working environment, we are desperately in need of office space. With respect to our larger campus, more parking and a larger fellowship hall, which currently are inadequate for present EBC needs, are also necessary for anticipated growth.
God has already laid the foundation with EBC’s past and is continuing His work in our people still today. We are grateful that people of EBC are excited about the future ministry that God has planned for us!
The project will be funded by 3 year commitments and pledges made members and friends of EBC. These commitments will be “Above and Beyond” our members’ and friends’ regular tithes and offerings. Also, various large and small-scale fundraisers will be held to help with funding.
