We’re building a home for this generation and future generations in order to reach people for Christ, connect them with other believers, help them grow in their faith, serve others, and honor God with their lives while inspiring others to do the same. 

1.  Buy Your Chair
The new sanctuary will seat 700 and each chair costs $100.
You can pay for your chair, your family, and others to come to church!
 
2.  Sponsor a Room
In our lobby, a new display shows the building layout and several rooms that you can sponsor (Kids Ministry rooms, Volunteer rooms, Life Group spaces).
To sponsor a room, simply complete the sponsorship card that is hanging on the display in the lobby. Only one sponsor is needed per room.
 
3. Unlock the Space
There are 5 large areas that we are all partnering together to After a long journey, we are so close to making it home. Now, together, we have the opportunity to make it feel like home—filling our new space with the furniture, paint, décor, and technology that will make it welcoming, functional, and ready for ministry. Let’s finish this journey together!
finish. We have ordered these areas in priority of what we needed to open the facility.

The first space is the most crucial, the Sanctuary. The goal to unlock the space is $600,000. These funds will provide the AV system, acoustic treatment, paint, and other technology needed.

Any amount towards this goal will help us unlock this space and begin utilizing it when we open next summer! 

Freshwater began in 1999 with a handful of people and a dream. We dreamed of impacting our community and beyond in a big way by sharing the love of Christ. We envisioned launching a learning center to help families and were passionate about helping people find their purpose. Twenty some years later, we are still committed and passionate about fulfilling the calling God has placed on our church. 

Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to go and make disciples. Even though we have occupied five different physical spaces over the years, we have never wavered in our mission. We stay focused on our mission by reaching people for Christ, connecting them with other believers, helping them grow in their faith, serving others, and honoring God with their lives.
 
Moving forward we will continue to be a “real, relevant, relational, inspiring, and generous” church focused on fulfilling our mission to make disciples. As more people step into their new relationship with Jesus, the spiritual climate of our community and beyond will increase. This is why we will continue to press into our calling.

A capital funding initiative is a church-wide concerted effort to raise funds for our new facility.

We plan to utilize cash on hand, income from the campaign, sell the St. Bonifacius facility, and finance the rest.

Each person will have the opportunity to attend one of our informational meetings to learn the details of the new facility. Each person will be able to ask questions regarding the project, its timing, estimated costs, and the giving process. Prayer, listening, and discernment will guide each person as they give generously.

Please don’t do that. Giving to our new campus should be above and beyond any current financial gift. Regular giving goes to support current ministry; building funds go towards our new campus.

The best answer is to ask your accountant. Nevertheless, it is our understanding that since Freshwater is a legal 501c3 non-profit organization, charitable giving and donations are tax deductible. 

The campaign will end when we have raised the funds needed to start building. After that, any additional funds given will go towards the general fund unless the building debt is specified. 

First, review the campaign materials. After learning more about the campaign, pray about your financial commitment. If you are married, talk it over with your spouse. If you have children, involve them in the process. After praying about the amount, make the commitment to giving whatever amount you are trusting God for. Remember to make your gift faith-building and God-honoring.
