Time to Look Ahead! Horizons' Stewardship company has completed the initial phase of a capital campaign, the Feasibility Study. The study is very important and determines if we are ready to begin a capital campaign to build a new building. The results of the study (minus participant comments) is available by clicking HERE. For the complete report, please contact Sam Culver in the church office at 405-692-4242.
Consider the power of a vision! An unfulfilled dream or incomplete task can awaken us each day to the possibilities that exist. Visions hold goals before us that give us momentum to push forward while testing our faithfulness to God’s call.
Our vision at St. Andrew’s has always been about people. “A loving, caring, overcoming community of faith centered in Jesus Christ” is God’s vision for us – that we are a people who gather in a place to receive love, care and strength to overcome when it seems like we cannot go forward.
We have always believed that we would build a place to the glory of God so that the loving, caring, overcoming grace of our Lord can be experienced and shared. We believe that with God’s help, we can build a place for people to live in community with God and each other.
This campaign calls us to take the next step toward fulfilling that vision. To reach the goal we will eliminate our existing debt while raising funds to help us prepare for the construction plans and cost to build a place for God’s people to gather. And, we are not just trying to raise money! First and foremost, we want to raise the stewardship awareness of the congregation.
This is an exciting adventure for us to share! We can do this, and can do it better together!
It is time for us to seek God’s desire as it will be worked and accomplished through us. Begin with simple heartfelt praise. And then as we sit in God’s presence, we will listen for God’s voice as we anticipate the response to our question “God, what do you want to accomplish through me?”
The vision of constructing a sanctuary is still before us. This campaign is our next step to accomplishing that task. Our vision remains about people! We pray God will use us to reach others the way God has used others to help us experience transforming grace. Prepare the Way brochure.
Grace and peace,
