Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank God for your love for God’s
Kingdom and your continuing affection for the Westminster congregation. May God continue
his grace and favor toward you. We are writing to ask you to partner with us revive the gospel
ministry at Westminster
After several months of prayer and discussion, the elders have approved a 2025 Capital
Campaign to retire our remaining mortgage debt of $587,754 (as of January 1, 2025.) This debt
has been with Westminster for 21 years and requires $80,000 in annual debt service (principal
plus interest); approximately 20% of our Church budget.
Westminster has been faithful to meet and exceed obligations established by our lien holders.
Nevertheless, the debt also represents lost opportunities: for bringing on more staff, replacing
aging equipment, and refreshing our extensive facilities for future use. Ultimately, we desire to
leave our Church’s resources in better shape than we received them, for the blessing of the next generation.
We began this capital campaign by asking the leadership at Westminster for pledges. We then
asked the congregation for pledges for the 2025 calendar year beyond their regular giving. To
date we have received $419,250 in pledges from our congregation. These pledges along with
our monthly mortgage payments represent approximately 80% of the total needed. We have
already reduced the debt by more than $100,000 year to date.
We are now asking the friends and former members of Westminster to join us in this Capital
Campaign in order to unleash Westminster for future ministry. We are seeking pledges of
$120,000 to retire our debt completely by the end of December 2025.
If you would like to participate, please inform Randy Waters of your pledge by May 1, 2025. All
pledges will be kept confidential and should be fulfilled by the end of 2025.
If God grants us success, this campaign will accomplish much practically toward fortifying our
congregation and expanding our outreach for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
For Christ and His Kingdom,
Elders and Deacons of Westminster
