FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions
Why did we do another capital campaign? Didn’t we just finish one?
The “Nothing Less Than Extraordinary Campaign” concluded last spring. Because our monthly principal and interest payments come out of the “Building Fund,” at this point in Westwood’s young history there is a need for continuous campaigns. In addition, the “All In” campaign allows us to significantly reduce debt and expand our ministry reach, addressing our worship space challenges.
What’s the “All In” Campaign goal?
The goal was for 1,000 individuals or families to be “All In” by pledging to the campaign above and beyond their General Fund giving. Our vision is to see God do three extraordinary things through your generosity. We are asking God to move us to give enought to cover our principal and interest expense for two years ($2,394,264), reduce debt by at least 4.2 million to free up dollars for ministry, and provide $500,000 over two years for ministry expansion.
Isn’t finishing the Phase 2 Building a part of the campaign?
While that had been our hope, finishing Phase 2, with a code-required new parking lot, is simply too expensive to manage in this campaign with the other goals. It is estimated that finishing Phase 2 will cost $3,500,000 and current planning includes this for 2013 and beyond.
