Building a Legacy Campaign Summary
Land Purchase
In November, 2002, Mountain View Community Church
purchased approximately 20 acres on Fingerboard Road (Route
80) along the west side of Interstate 270, just over 1 mile
from Urbana High School. By January, 2004, this land was
paid for in full, and we began to think seriously about the
building process.
Stewardship Campaign
In April 2006, we launched the Building a Legacy
stewardship campaign with the intention of raising funds
for a permanent place of worship. By God’s grace, through
the Building a Legacy campaign, His people committed almost
$2.5 M in funds earmarked for the construction of our new
ministry home. Approximately $800,000 was received through
generous first fruits offerings, and the remaining amount
was pledged to be given over a three-year period.
Planning and Construction
The primary committees involved with this project are
the Facilities Planning Team (with a focus on building
design) and the New Facilities Team (with a focus on
construction and funding). These teams have been working
closely with the architect, general contractor, and others
to help make this vision for ministry a reality. The New
Facilities Team has been communicating progress to the
congregation on a quarterly basis in “Town Hall” and
congregational meetings. A groundbreaking ceremony was held
on Sunday, September 14, 2008.
