March 4, 2008.  For the past several months, Living Hope Church has been blessed with a tremendous influx of new people. In fiscal year 2004 (June 1 - May 30), our morning worship average attendance increased over 56%. In FY 2005 there was another 15% increase in growth. This has resulted in very crowded conditions in our nice, but inadequate building. As a result, a Building Committee was named which, in conjunction with the Local Board of Administration, has developed a master plan for building expansion.

In 2004, the L.B.A. contracted with Stewardship Ministries of The Wesleyan Church to assist with a capital stewardship campaign. The main thrust of the campaign ran from September 12 through December 5, 2004. We were able to raise $202,674 in cash and pledges. The total pledges have since increased to $216,820.00. As of March 4, 2008, we have received a total of $238,529.64 in cash.

Praise the Lord!
