The three main purposes of the Beyond Campaign are connected to our overall mission, that of forming a people that is God’s very own. Through this campaign we hope to be formed as God’s that we might listen to Him and hear His leading. Secondly, through listening to God, our hope is that He will grow us as stewards, sacrificial givers, men and women with a larger faith in Him. Finally, this campaign will provide for a basic facility to support our new congregation in Warrenville.
Primarily, the funds will be used to purchase and remodel our Warrenville property to provide a basic sanctuary and classrooms for our new congregation. If giving exceeds the cost of this work, we will make some modest improvements to our Wheaton facility and then fund a special missions project.
Sunday, November 5, 2006 was a joyful day of worship and celebration as the combined congregations of Blanchard Warrenville and Blanchard Wheaton gathered at the Holiday Inn in Naperville for a great time of worship and testimony to the Lord. Pledge cards for the Beyond campaign were distributed during the service, filled out by each family, and collected for tabulation. The total funds pledged to the Beyond campaign is $3,590,303 by 249 individuals and families.
Giving to the Beyond Fund as of as of 03/31/09 - $2,340,576.
