Capital Campaign

What comes to mind when you think about South Church?

Outward Facing, Nurturing, Forward Thinking, Inclusive, Welcoming, Deeply Faithful
(from congregation survey, Oct. 2023)

There are not many places in our modern world that fit that description! Our church has been a beacon of love in the community for more than 300 years and we believe there is still more work God is calling us to do. We are launching a Capital Campaign to maintain our historic building, improve facilities to meet current needs and create a solid Building Reserve fund to ensure we properly care for it all in the future.

The campaign’s purpose is to raise financial support for necessary, important building projects including a fire suppression system, steeple painting and repairs, sanctuary window work, kitchen renovation, and sanctuary chancel work but our campaign is about much more. Improving our facilities allows us to live more fully into who we seek to be as a faith community and to further our mission to be a community hub that “boldly embodies God’s love and compassion”.

Your voice and participation are integral to this process. I invite you to learn, listen, and participate in the events of this exciting time in the history of South Church.
