Courtyard Capital Campaign
Vision: We are a house of prayer for all nations, and of all nations. "commUNITY park" is the place where these nations gather together to fellowship, eat, play, and grow.
Goal: To raise the funds to construct a multi-use park in the courtyard of SCFBC where the existing playground is.
Victory Goal - $400,000
The amount necessary for the construction of the facilities within the courtyard
Challenge Goal - $500,000
In addition to the above, renovate the entry from the courtyard to the Fellowship Hall
Miracle Goal - $800,000
In addition to the above, establish a pro-active roof and facilities maintenance fund
Our goal is to open the park in the summer of 2020. Estimated time to completion is three months after breaking ground. Given the complexity of the project, a contractor will be hired to oversee construction, which requires us to have all necessary funding before construction begins. Pledges for future donations will allow the church to borrow from its own internal account (the Clevenger Fund) without interest. Money donated to the Capital Campaign can legally only be used for the above projects; once the project is fully funded, construction will begin.

2019. Yearly gifts can be given at anytime. The campaign is set to end at the end of September 2021.
What happens to my donation if the project is not fully funded?
Money donated for the park can legally only be used for the park. When sufficient funds are raised the money will
be used for this purpose alone.
Does the church need all the money up-front?
In order for the contractor to start construction, we must have the necessary funding to complete the project
before the contractor is hired.
If you need the money up-front, what is the purpose of pledges for future donations?
Pledges for future donations will allow the church to borrow from the Clevenger fund, an internal account of money the church already has which
we can borrow from with no interest, but needs to be paid back.
When will the park be built?
The goal is to start construction in February 2020 and open the summer of 2020.
How long will the construction take?
Estimated time from breaking ground to completion is three months.
Who will do the work?
