Stewardship Update

Winter 2023–24

Posted by Faith Bible Church on December 9, 2023

Our generous Father provides for His people! Amid increased costs, General Fund giving during the first quarter of the fiscal year has kept up with budgeted giving, while expenses remain below budget.

Read on for a note from the elders, previewing the upcoming capital campaign!

The Faith Bible Church facility has been used by the Lord for local, regional, and global impact for over 25 years, and our desire is to have that continue as God enables.

We have been praying, evaluating and planning on how to best minister to the next generation of believers based on attendance trends and ministry needs. We know that it requires maintenance of the current facility and continued stewardship of the property, including facility configurations and expansions that enable future ministry.

This renovation process started in 2022 by expanding the auditorium stage, replacing obsolete lighting and updating the sound system and acoustics.

The Next Generation Facility plan includes replacing worn carpets, repairing and replacing certain fixtures and furniture, and commissioning an architectural study that will assess the current facility and desired future usage scenarios and costs. We estimate that costs over the next three years will be in the $2 million range. More detailed estimates will be available following the architectural study.

We are asking the Faith Bible Church congregation to prayerfully consider sacrificially giving toward the ongoing vision of utilizing our church campus to make disciples locally and globally.

As always, our greatest encouragement and admonition is for each person to evaluate their own stewardship and ensure their finances are managed well before making a commitment to this campaign.

More to come in January!

On behalf of the elders,
Walt Takisaki
