Goal — Support St. Stephen's

The Goal

Realistic, Achievable Investment in our Future

Our congregation conducted a feasibility study in the fall of 2022 to determine the level of support for a capital campaign. The study yielded many valuable insights. Most importantly, we learned that there is resounding support for moving forward with the campaign. At the same time, the responses gathered in the study guided us to revise our primary goal to $2,104,800, with a challenge goal of an additional $231,528, for a total of $2,336,328. Our leadership adjusted the scope of our projects accordingly, to reflect the will of our congregation. Based on the results of this study, we believe that this goal is both realistic and achievable.
