Building and planning for the future takes wisdom and faith. Pastor Jason Stover, along with the leadership of Dove Church, have been seeking wisdom and praying earnestly to hear God’s will in this process. We have three potential goals in this campaign. The first goal is set at an attainable 1 million. The second goal may take a little faith, set at 1.5 million. Our third goal of 2 million is attainable as well when we give generously with our finished goal in mind. After all, we serve a BIG & MIGHTY God and with Him, we can do BIG & MIGHTY things!
Questions and Answers
How will this debt retirement campaign help us reach our community for Christ?
Our goal is to pay off this debt as soon as possible. Doing this will allow our church to use our resources for more ministry opportunities locally and internationally.
How will we pay for this?
The commitments made during our ALL IN campaign will be used to service the mortgage on the new facility. We have faith the Dove family will rise to the challenge. With God’s help through our sacrificial giving, our debts will be retired.
What is the current financial condition of the church?
Our church is doing well financially, but currently nearly 40% of our budget is going towards the note on the new building. We want to aggressively pay down the note in order to free up more funds for ministry.
How long is the commitment to this campaign?
The ALL IN Campaign will last 3 years.
Why should I sign a pledge to “ALL IN” campaign?
A campaign pledge is an agreement or covenant between the person making the pledge and the Lord, to symbolize our “faith promise” to God. The pledge amount and subsequent giving remain at the discretion of the person who is pledging. A deliberate decision to obey God is solidified by completing a commitment card, which enables the church to know what to expect and how to plan or make informed financial decisions.
What are the different ways I can give?
Even a small gift, given regularly, can add up to a substantial donation over time. Get creative—defer major purchases, hold a garage sale, get the children involved with extra chores around the house, reduce spending, give your tax refund. It’s a great way to involve your whole family in giving up something you love so that you can give to someone you love even more…Jesus Christ.
How can I help?
- First and foremost, please pray regularly for our “ALL IN” campaign.
- Participate in the events and meetings. Make a commitment to learn as much as you can about the campaign and the vision of our church.
- Give sacrificially. The vision God has granted us can only be achieved through faith and sacrifice. We ask that every member of the Dove prayerfully consider how they can be a part of this campaign and help us achieve our goals.
We have 4 Major Purposes for ALL IN
1. To HONOR God with a radical spirit of sacrifice and generosity.
2. To RETIRE our existing debt on the new building.
3. To FOCUS more resources on ministry and missions immediately.
4. To GIVE every member of the Dove family a reason to participate.
