Courage to Grow Campaign

In 1998, St Paul began to look at its future and began to ask some serious questions.  From this dialogue, came a list of these of things which were needed to make the facilities more appealing, more accessible, and safer. 

St. Paul voted to

     ▪ Retire the current debt

     ▪ Build an elevator

     ▪ Build an attractive, safe playground

     ▪ Establish and equip a permanent youth area

     ▪ Construct a well-lit, landscaped parking lot and remove the old activity building

     ▪ Renovate the sanctuary

     ▪ Create a permanent maintenance fund

To achieve these goals, a capital funds campaign was embarked on in October 2002.  The goal was to raise $1.5 million.  Of that, $1.2 million was pledged.  To date, of that $1.2 million, $1.08 million has been given.

St. Paul continues to look to the future with the courage to grow into that future.
