We believe that our best days are ahead.
The Need
Built in 1991, our building serves as an amazing ministry tool. In order to ensure its sustainability for the next 30 years, we've identified a number of areas that need repairs and improvements. The single largest item is our roof. The metal roof, that covers the vast majority of our building, regularly leaks from snow and rain. And the flat roofs that cover our gymnasium and office areas also need to be redone.
There are other areas that need to be addressed: building accessibility, repairs to our parking lot, audio & video upgrades, washroom expansion, just to name a few.

The Plan
We've prioritized the most important needs into Phase 1. You can find out more about the timeline below.
In Phase 1, we will be repairing, resealing, and repainting the South-facing metal roof, improving building accessibility, and retaining funds in case of any urgent repairs for our heating and cooling system.

The Invitation
This will be made possible by your support. We have already raised over $161,000! This allows us to enter the project with a strong cash position. To make a donation, please visit below.
However, Phase 1 will cost more than $400,000 and in March 2023, the congregation voted to borrow $250,000 from Kingdom Life Financial.
For any funds that we have to borrow, we also need pledged support so we can be confident that we can pay any borrowed funds back quickly. Our goal is that we would repay all funds within 3 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 3 phases?
In the first phase, we are focussing on the South-facing roof, improving building accessibility and retaining funds for our heating and cooling system.
The 2nd and 3rd phases will include additional repairs to the remaining sections of the roof, among other improvements (such as parking lot repairs, audio & video upgrades, washroom expansion, etc.)
How much are we borrowing?
The total estimate for Phase 1 is $410,000. We have already raised over $161,000, so we are borrowing up to $250,000.
Who is our lender?
We are borrowing money from Kingdom Life Financial, the investment arm of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, Manitoba & Northwestern Ontario.
Individuals and churches provide the investment funds and charitable donations for the loans that further God's kingdom.
Are my donations tax-deductible?
Yes. Donations made towards this campaign will receive an Official Receipt for Income Tax Purposes that you can submit to Canada Revenue Agency.
Why aren't we doing it all at once?
Simply put, we want to ensure that we are able to start this as quickly as feasibly possible. By putting this revitalization into 3 phases, we are able to start on the most needed areas as quickly as possible.
What is a pledge?
A pledge is a commitment to help us pay back any borrowed money. We want to repay any borrowed money within 3 years.
Is it reasonable to plan on repaying any borrowed funds back in 3 years?
Yes! Over the past number of years, we have averaged over 200 individual donors. We have already raised over $150,000. We need to borrow the remaining $200,000, that would mean that we would need each donor to give approximately $28 more per month for 3 years.
Now of course, some will give more...some may not give as much. But with these numbers, we believe that full repayment of any loans in 3 years is attainable.
