In our ongoing 2022-2025 campaign, our goal is to raise $1.5 million to completely renovate the Connors Hill Kids Ministry area and gym, the Sherwood Park basement, and to pay off a significant portion of our Southeast mortgage. In early November, our team invited you with boldness and love to consider contributing to this important project.

We are thrilled to report that, since our invitation one month ago, you have given $182,799.27 above regular giving towards these initiatives. We have now received over $920,000 in cash and commitments for this current phase of Building Together. We are humbled and we want to say – thank you so much!

We will keep you updated as projects move forward. And we give God the glory for all He has done and for all He will do as we continue to follow Jesus together.

Church family,

On Sunday, November 26th, we will be receiving a special offering for Building Together, our church’s shared commitment to a season of intentional investment into our three sites as tools for God’s Kingdom. At its heart, it is about creating great spaces where where people can encounter Jesus and find community.

We are excited to unveil our new PROJECTS & PROGRESS PAGE. Check it out to see all that God has done in the first six years of Building Together, and the hopes we have for the future!

In the current phase (February 2022 through April 2025), we have received just over $789,000 in gifts and commitments towards our goal of $1.5 million. If we can reach our three-year goal of $1.5 million, we will be able to update the Connors Hill gym and kids ministry areas, renovate the Sherwood Park basement and kids ministry areas, and pay off additional debt.

We are so thankful for your continued generosity, faithfulness and dedication to the Building Together project. Please prayerfully consider how God may be leading you to support this Sunday’s offering over and above your regular giving through either a one-time gift or a monthly commitment. Every gift makes an impact for God’s Kingdom!

We are so grateful to our Central family for their amazing generosity. The Building Together Team is so excited to announce that the offering taken on May 28th for Building Together totalled $56,314.05. Praise God! We look forward with anticipation to all God has in store as we invest in our buildings as a tool for God’s kingdom. Check back here in the fall as we celebrate more completed projects in our facilities!

Central is in the midst of a three-year phase where our goal is to raise $1.5 million toward projects of significant impact at each of our three sites. If you are one of those who’ve already made a financial commitment, thank you so much. Because of you, and by God’s grace, we have been able to move forward on some very important projects (including the sanctuary renovation and roof repairs at Connors Hill, the kitchen renovation underway in Sherwood Park, and significant progress paying down the mortgage at the Southeast site).

We are so encouraged by this progress, but also note that we have further to go before we can realize additional projects that are part of this vision, such as essential updates to the Connors Hill gym and kids ministry areas, renovating the Sherwood Park basement and kids ministry areas, and paying off additional debt. We invite you to join in this effort as we respond to God and step out in faith together. On Sunday, May 28, we will be receiving a special offering for Building Together. As that date approaches, please prayerfully consider how God may be leading you to support this offering over and above your regular giving through either a one-time gift or a monthly commitment. There are more details on the overview of our 2022-2025 project and giving options at the top of the Building Together website.

The Sherwood Park kitchen work is coming along very well! The walls, floors and lighting are in place and large appliances and cupboards are being installed in May 2023. Special thanks to Darrell Martin for all the work he has put into the construction of the kitchen!

We also have an updated youth room space downstairs that the youth use for Sunday School on the last Sunday of the month. It is also a space that is used for ministries during the week and a quiet space for moms to have their babies during the service. More renovations are planned as the kitchen renovation gets completed and there is more space in the youth room.

Early in January 2023 the Sherwood Park site kitchen demolition was completed.  Plans are finalized and initial construction work is underway.  We aim to have the kitchen renovation project completed in 2023. We are excited about the future opportunity for community building and delicious meals that will be able to take place at the Sherwood Park site!

The roof of the Connors Hill site has been completed!  The roof over the gym was completed in 2021 and soon after the sanctuary renovations were completed, the Connors Hill facilities team realized that the sanctuary roof needed to be updated quickly. We are happy to report that the roof over the sanctuary was completed in late 2022.  This will ensure that our newly renovated sanctuary will be kept safe from weather and water damage for years to come.

It is with grateful hearts that we want to thank you for your generosity towards Building Together, this season of intentional investment in our facilities as tools for God’s kingdom. During the month of November, the people of Central gave $61,922 towards this initiative. Praise the Lord!

Church Family,

In case you missed the announcement on Sunday, we wanted to let you know about a special Building Together offering coming up on November 27.

Building Together is our church’s shared commitment to a season of intentional investment into our facilities as tools for God’s kingdom. At its heart, it is about creating great spaces where where people can encounter Jesus and find community. In the first phase of Building Together (January 2018 through January 2022), we received $2,404,928 in gifts, enabling us to pay down over $600,000 of principle on our Southeast mortgage along with finishing many important projects at Connors Hill and Sherwood Park.

Thank you for your gifts!

In the current phase (February 2022 through April 2025), we have received just over $680,000 in gifts and commitments towards our goal of $1.5 million. This giving will allow us to pay down an additional $300,000 of debt on our Southeast site, finish the roof over our Connors Hill sanctuary (nearly completed now), and completely renovate the Sherwood Park kitchen along with addressing basement safety concerns. If we can reach our three-year goal of $1.5 million, we will also be able to update the Connors Hill gym and kids ministry areas, renovate the Sherwood Park basement and kids ministry areas, and pay off additional debt. 

As we continue to move forward, we want to ask that you would use this time to prayerfully consider giving towards Building Together on or before November 27th, over and above your regular giving, either through a one time gift or by setting up monthly giving. If you have already given or made a commitment in this season, we want to take this opportunity to say thank you! Every gift makes a difference.

To learn more or give now, please visit building-together.ca or pick up an information envelope near the Building Together sign in any of our site foyers. 

Thank you again for your generosity.
