Overview

The Penn Central Conference is in the midst of a Capital Campaign to raise $4.2 million 4 Our Churches.   The funds will be used for four distinct purposes: A Mission Tithe to Rebuild Beecher Memorial; for New and Revitalized Churches; to build a Multi-Purpose Building at Hartman Center and for the 4 Our Future Endowment Fund.

We are now in the Commitment Phase of the Campaign.  Presenters are presently making arrangments to visit all of our churches to tell the story of what the 4 Our Churches Campaign promises to do for, and with, our congregations.

 Campaign Donations

It's now possible to make your donations to the Campaign by secure electronic transfer.  You can instruct Penn Central to withdraw your specified donations from either your checking or savings account or from your credit card.  To enroll in this program, click this secure on-line link.      Please note that the donation software does not have a place for you to indicate if you are planning to designate your gift to one part of the Campaign.  If you plan to designate your gift, go ahead and enroll and make your donation, but also send an email or make a phone call to the Conference Office and tell us of your desire to designate your gift so that we can manually record your preference.

Campaign Timeline

This year, every church will be encouraged to appoint a Church Representative who will coordinate the Campaign at your church.  In addition, churches will be asked to select a goal amount that they will raise between 2008 and 2012.
