Q – WHAT IS THE FOCUS OF “IN THE ZONE? ”
A – Bottom line: to build our faith and be a blessing to our community. Financially, we need commitments of approximately $20,000 each month for 36 months, in the form of monthly commitments, in order to get started on financing the building of the community center.

Q – HOW MUCH MONEY ARE WE TRYING TO RAISE?
A – The total anticipated amount in cash and monthly commitments is $600,000 over three years. We pray that our cash offering on March 11 will approach $75,000.

Q – WHAT ABOUT “GET IN THE GAME” OFFERINGS?
A – “Get in the Game” was the first phase of our process and allowed us to be able to purchase our land. “In the Zone” is a whole new campaign to complete the payment of our land and give us the ability to build the community center.

Q – CAN WE DO THIS?
A – No doubt this is a huge endeavor – too large for any one person or only a few people to tackle alone. Together, through large and small commitments, we can reach our goal and see the community center become a reality. In six months the SR family gave $100,000 for our land. If you multiply that by six (over a three-year period) you can see that this goal is certainly attainable with God’s help.

Q – WILL MY CONTRIBUTION BE MADE PUBLIC?
A – No, only the total of ALL commitments received will be announced. All giving and commitments will remain confidential.

Q – WHEN WILL THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION BEGIN?
A – We anticipate beginning construction on the community center by the beginning of 2008 (less than a year from now). Construction could be completed by the summer of 2008 (just over a year from now).

Q – IS IT OK TO GIVE TO “IN THE ZONE” INSTEAD OF TITHING?
A – Your commitments to “In The Zone” should be above and beyond your normal giving (tithing). It would be counterproductive to sacrifice our day-to-day ministry and outreach at the expense of any offerings given to “In The Zone”. Please maintain your regular giving, while going above and beyond for the community center.

Q – WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE PROJECT?
A – The total facility is 30,000 square feet and includes a state-of-the-art gymnasium, theatre stage, kitchen, fitness rooms, game room, computer room, locker/bathrooms, and two stories of youth/children’s classrooms and conference rooms. The cost to build Phase I is approximately $1.5 million, which will include the completion of the gymnasium, theatre/stage, the first floor, paving and landscaping. Completing phase one will allow us to occupy the building. The second phase will be the completion of the second floor. The construction process will allow us to build an excellent facility while utilizing the many gifts and services of our own contractors.
