Total Need: Approx 200,000 for first year operations.

Broadcast Campus Debt Reduction After our first loan draw we have been given a 15 month interest only window for our loan of 3.8 million.

As a church our goal and practice has been to function with as little debt as possible. If this excites you, consider pointing your Legacy Giving in this direction.
