A note from the Business Office
Capital Campaign Funds
Even though the official Capital Campaign for the renovations ended in 2022, there is still an opportunity to give towards the renovations. To date, we have received $1.316 million in cash, leaving a gap in cost above what we have received to date through the Capital Campaign. We have been able to fill some of the gap with the proceeds from the Rising House sale along with some generous bequeaths/gifts. We are grateful for all the gifts given thus far to the Capital Campaign, any additional giving in your heart would be greatly appreciated to help make up for the difference between the project cost and the cash received to date. Be sure to earmark your gift for the Capital Campaign.
The following are ways that you can give your monetary gifts to our church:
- On-line giving on our website, www.love-first.org
- E-Offering (ACH) is a safe way to have your giving directly deducted from your checking or savings account –
contact the Business Office for an authorization form.
- Direct bill payment through your own bank
- Mail in gifts to 163 E. Wheeling St., Lancaster, OH 43130
We are here to help! If you have any questions on any of the ways to give to our church, please call Sarah or Michael in the Business Office at 740-653-3330. Thank you for your generous gifts to our church.
