Join us as we seek to raise $347,115.00 before we enter the remodeled Worship Center. We believe we can reach this ambitious goal when we all reach deep and consider donating the cost of one chair, $365. Some may do more and others may do less but when we all do something anything is possible.
On February 5th, we revealed the renderings and budget for the much-needed renovation of the primary place we gather for worship. The project will include much-needed AVL upgrades, updates in seating, carpet, and a stage facelift, as well as expanding the restrooms in a redesigned foyer. This space hasn’t been upgraded in nearly 40 years and is in need of attention and repair. It would be easy to see this project as merely another building project, but I believe it is much more. For the Future is an investment in continuing the legacy of what God has done at First Moore. It is a visible picture that First Moore is committed to reaching future generations just as it has been committed in the past. First Moore’s legacy doesn’t exist because the members sit idly by doing nothing. It exists because they were willing to step out in faith and trust where God was moving to make an impact for the gospel. For the Future says First Moore isn’t just interested in preserving the past.
We all know that the last decade has been a time of decline in the life of our church. This is a defining moment where we can either move forward and say we still have great years of engaging our community ahead of us as a church or settling and deciding to simply continue to exist. I, for one, am not okay with existing. I want First Moore to be a church where God is clearly moving, and lives are being changed, and I believe most of us do too. Let’s be clear, a worship center remodel won’t do this. It is just a tool; God will have to do real work through us. But upgrading and updating our primary place of worship is a way of saying that we are committed to doing what it takes to reach both current and future generations with the gospel. I am excited about the future of First Moore. I believe we have the staff, the membership, and the power of the Spirit of God coupled with the Word of God, which is all we need to be effective. The tools are there. Do we have the desire to step out and work instead of wait, engage instead of simply exist, and be intentional instead of indifferent? By God’s grace and power, I think we do, and I think we will do it for the present and For the Future.
For His Glory and Your Joy,
Pastor Charlie
In December 2021, First Moore launched a stewardship campaign, “For the Future”, to help raise funds for updating our HVAC system and remodeling the Worship Center. The people of First Moore were challenged to give sacrificially as they go above and beyond their tithes and offerings. There are many ways people can give to this campaign; consistently (weekly, monthly, etc.), through one time gifts at special offerings, or maybe even both.
Sunday, April 24, we will be receiving a special “For The Future” offering. Please be in prayer about how you might be a part of this offering.
First Moore is planning to begin a three-year capital campaign in which the people of God will be challenged to give above and beyond their normal tithes and offerings for the sake of preparing our church for future years of ministry.
The “For the Future” Campaign will kick-off on Sunday, December 19, with a special offering and a time to bring your campaign commitment card.
On Monday, December 6, we will put campaign information packets in the mail. If you don’t receive one by Sunday, December 12, there will some available to pick up at the Connection Point and Connection Hub.
