An Extraordinary Act of Grace
When we launched the For Generations to Come campaign, we said we believed this was a goal only God could make possible. We are humbled and overjoyed to report that He is doing exactly that.
When we launched the For Generations to Come campaign, we said we believed this was a goal only God could make possible. We are overjoyed, and honestly a little awestruck, to report that He is doing exactly that.
To date, we have received pledges and donations totaling more than $18,500,000 toward our $27 million Phase 1 construction goal. Combined with the $10,000,000 already given to purchase the property, total pledges and donations have now reached $28,151,196 and counting. To put that into context: this represents more than five times our annual budget and, by God's grace, far surpasses typical results for a campaign this size. This number will also allow us to continue to move forward with the project.
This is not a testament to savvy strategy or favorable timing. It is a testament to a generous God and a faithful church family who believed His call was worth responding to sacrificially. And respond you did!
There is still meaningful ground to cover before we break ground, and we continue to invite everyone to prayerfully seek how the Lord might lead them to participate. Past generations made room for us, and we are now doing the same for generations to come. What a gift to be the church that gets to take this step together!

Celebrating Commitment Sunday
Last Sunday was Commitment Sunday, the fruit of significant prayer and discernment about how the Lord is leading all of us to give toward our future home. We’ve said throughout this process that raising all of the funds will take a miracle. And while we're praying for that miracle, we've already seen incredible things happening in the lives of so many people as they've taken faithful steps of generosity to give to this project.

Still working on your pledge?
If you weren’t able to turn in your pledge card this past Sunday, it is not too late. Baskets for pledge cards will be near the entrances once again this Sunday, or you can submit your pledge online if you prefer.
Know someone who would like to hear more?
As Joel mentioned, we've had a number of people ask whether friends or family outside of Redeemer can give toward this effort, and the answer is yes! If you want to let us know how to contact them, you can do so here. Additionally, we’ve put together a page on our site that goes over the basics of the project if you’d like to send it on.
When will we hear more?
Our team is already hard at work tallying the hundreds of pledges that we’ve received. It takes an enormous effort to triple-check our numbers and track down any missing information, so we plan to share the total amount pledged in mid-May.
Thank you for the ways you have already participated in this season. We are expectant to see how the Lord will continue to provide in the days ahead.
Site Workday Success
Last Saturday, around 150 individuals from our church family spent the morning cleaning up our new property (and maybe a few of them picked up some poison ivy along the way).

It was a joy to serve side by side, getting our hands dirty and caring for a space that will hold so much life in the days ahead. Thank you to everyone who showed up with willing hands and hearts. We’re so grateful to be building this together with you.
