Our Future

Grow the Circle Wide: Capital Campaign
The framework for our Grow the Circle Wide: Capital Campaign arose from the Mission Priority goals established in the Strategic Plan. The congregation and our leadership had long been aware that the church building had needs—and our members had dreams-- that required funds that our annual budget could not provide. The goals of the Strategic Plan helped us to focus upon realistic project goals for a capital campaign. After planning and meeting with the congregation, the Council decided upon four projects for a capital campaign: 

 

• Securing RUC’s financial future by paying off our construction loan and increasing the reserve fund

• Contributing 10% of collected campaign funds towards mission support for our LGBTQ+ neighbors

• Planning for an outdoor worship space and playground

• Renovating our kitchen

Organizing the Capital Campaign began in 2022, and it was active in the spring of 2023. By the time that we closed fundraising for the Campaign on the first of June, we had received pledges of more than $1,000,000! It was an amazing success that would not have happened for the generous and warm-hearted support of those who gave their time and treasure.

Since the Campaign officially “closed”, we have made much progress in fulfilling our project goals. An update on the Capital Campaign progress is found here.
