What does it mean to pledge?

At Redeemer we do not consider pledges to be binding legal documents. Rather, we consider pledges to be good faith commitments of intent to support the project at a certain level. Of course, the elders do make financial decisions based on the anticipated amount of giving, but we consider the actual commitment and payment to be a matter between you and God. Please make a thoughtful and prayerful commitment, and then give your best effort to pay it.

What if I already give to Redeemer?

We ask that pledges to the building project be above and beyond your “regular” giving. Our regular budget needs still must be met and we anticipate further seasons of sacrificial giving for the sake of our vision. For now, we are asking our people to pledge towards Phase 1 of the project from November 2011 to November 2012.

Accomplishing the Project in Two Phases

The total cost of the project is $3.65 million, which we have broken up into two phases to address the most pressing needs first. The first phase will cost $2.65 million, and will:

Address critical safety issues – Fire Sprinklers, Exits, and a new staircase and entryway.

Expand Gallery space.

Expand RedeemerKIDS, adding six new elementary classrooms, a new check-in area, and a secure family stairwell.

Add a new Seminar room.

Give us new 2nd floor bathrooms.

Install new HVAC for 1st and 2nd floors.

We’ll start work on Phase 1 when we have $2.2 million in hand and 100% of the $2.65 million pledged.

The second phase will cost $1 million, and will:

Update and expand existing RedeemerKIDS rooms to provide more space for babies and additional classrooms.

Expand adult classrooms for seminars, midweek pathways, and membership classes.

Recondition and expand bathrooms on 1st and 3rd floors.

Finalize HVAC for 3rd floor.

Expand classrooms, counseling rooms, and office space to accommodate our growing congregation and staff.

We’ll start work on phase 2 when we have $700 thousand in hand and 100% of the $1 million pledged.
