Son Rise Campaign Follow-up Begins

A dedicated team of men and women officially function as "keepers of the program" on a calendar of specific "Son Rise Campaign" follow-up activities. During our period of faithfully keeping our commitments, you will receive periodic announcements during our weekly worship services, testimonials, newsletter reports, recognition of program anniversaries, new member enlistment activities, and quarterly statements about our churchwide progress.

Throughout the 36 months of the first capital phase, the Follow-Up team has reported regularly and has met monthly to monitor program progress and coordinate information to be dispersed to the congregation via different media forums.

Our Follow-up Team is: Bob Smith, John Forsythe, Dan Ferracane, Susan Turpen, and Dave Seiders.

Son Rise Today

One of the most exciting aspects of our Son Rise Campaign has been to see the way so many people have given their talents to the task. Architect Mark Wagner has developed plans for the House of Hope. Lawyer Connie Pascal and accountant John Wauters have used their professional skills to create by-laws and program budgets and to facilitate attaining proper IRS status. Engineer John Ernst has helped us analyze our site. There is a creative power and a marvelous strength that comes when we fulfill God's purposes together.

At this time the Son Rise Campaign has raised over $2,317,824 in commitments and received $1,379,749 in contributions. We are grateful for your continued support.
