Children’s Worship HVAC Unit

Expand

We are continuing to raise funds to replace the HVAC unit which services the first floor of the addition. So far, we have collected $23,987.69! We are estimating that we will need $30-35,000 for the new unit, so we are making good progress towards covering the expense. Thank you so much for your generosity! If you’d like to contribute towards this project, you can do so online or by noting HVAC on your check.

Blood Drive: 5/27
