Ark Capital Campaign Kickoff - May 2026

As the seasons change, our church remains a constant source of warmth, light, and refuge for our community. It is a place where we gather to worship, learn, support one another, and serve those in need. To ensure our building can continue to be a safe, comfortable, and efficient haven for years to come, we are embarking on some essential improvement projects, and we need your help!

As a church family, we have been blessed to have our main building and other buildings on our campus free of mortgage debt for decades.  This has allowed us to focus our resources primarily on ministry.  However, as many of you know, we have needed capital campaigns over the years to fund major expenditures like roofing, carpeting, and other critical items in need of upgrades.  Our main church building was constructed in the 1980s, so the mechanical systems that we take for granted are aging.  It has become clear that our aging boiler and air conditioning system are

critically in need of replacement. The windows are decades old.  Some of them are rotting out and in need of immediate replacement!

To address these needs, your session elders are prayerfully launching the ARK special capital campaign to raise funds. If you feel called to and can start giving now, your giving envelope has a place on it titled “ARK” or you can write “ARK” on the memo line of your offering check. If you would prefer to give online you can do that at saxonburg.org under “give”.  We are hoping that giving to this ARK campaign would be above and beyond your normal giving, since the church has set expenses that are paid for by your normal tithes and offerings.  We are so thankful for your generosity and hearts for ministry!

To guide our planning and prioritize our efforts, we need your input. Please help us by identifying any specific concerns or issues you have encountered related to our buildings and grounds, and we will consider them for inclusion in this capital campaign. By sharing what you see, you are actively participating in the care and future of our church home. In the coming weeks, watch for information in the church bulletins about how you can submit your capital improvement ideas for consideration.

Thank you for your partnership in this important work!
