Designated Giving Opportunities
These are seasonal opportunities to give above and beyond your regular tithes and offerings.
A Time To Renew – Capital Campaign
In response to a long-range forecast of our capital expenditure needs that indicate a significant gap between our future expenditures and our forecasted reserves, the Elders have called for a Capital Campaign. Our goal is to raise $5 million.
- 90% [$4.5 million of targeted amount] will go directly to renewing Calvary’s facilities
- 10% [$500,000 of targeted amount] will go to bless other churches
Commitment Sunday is October 27. Pledge cards will be distributed in early October. On Commitment Sunday, you will have the opportunity to return your card and demonstrate your support of this campaign, as led by God.
You can give to these funds through any of the above methods – online, by text, or in person.
