IMPACT

IMPACT was our recent capital campaign which oversaw recent renovations of our Education Building. Improvements included all new windows, HVAC classroom units, paint, electrical upgrades, IT and security upgrades, and more! 


IMPACT was designed to restore a significant part of our facility so that we could house 12 Stones Christian Academy as well as continue to provide a quality environment for our Children's ministry and LifeGroup classes.


This campaign stretched from April 2018 to November 2020.


As of the end of November, the total IMPACT bill has been paid by the congregation! We are no longer receiving funds specifically for this campaign. Any additional funds received will be designated to the Building Fund for future projects and work.


Thank you for giving as you did!

Our IMPACT commitment

Our church overwhelming affirmed the following commitment:

"The Building, Property & Planning and Stewardship Ministry Teams together unanimously recommend that the church proceed with the full Educational Building renovation package totaling $300,000, and  that the Trustees be authorized to open a $300,000 line of credit with Heritage Bank to help fund renovations. Borrowed funds will be repaid by IMPACT pledges and designated gifts over the next 24 months.”

Ways to Give

GENERAL GIVING INFORMATION:

As we are no longer receiving gifts towards "IMPACT," if your family feels so led, please consider supporting the Building Fund as there are several additional project which will need attention and renovation over the next couple years! REMEMBER, biblically, these gifts are always to be given AFTER your normal worship through tithing is done. Please never designate your tithe. Your tithe is what helps EBC maintain normal daily function.


1.  If you use envelopes to contribute, please write “Building Fund” on the outside of the envelope and the amount designated for it, or mark “Building Fund” on the envelope, if applicable. Left unmarked, gifts will be included as a part of your regular tithing. As a backup, use the MEMO line to communicate your desire.


2.  If you choose to give online, there is an option online where you can select “Building Fund” from the drop-down menu.  Online, multiple gifts can be split between tithe, building, Special Missionary Offerings, etc.


3.  Under current IRS rules, if you donate marketable securities to the church, you are entitled to a contribution deduction for the FMV of the shares on the day of transfer to the church.  If you are interested in this option call our financial counselor, Bob Smith at 859-393-6484. 


4.  Last but not least…don’t forget about your regular giving! Thank you for your sacrificial giving!
