Preparing For
Kingdom Work
“When opportunity comes, it’s too late to prepare!”
Coach John Wooden
Stewardship
God has entrusted us with this incredible building! We have a responsibility to take care of what we have been given and, as we’ve been in the habit of doing as a church, joining with our founders in providing a place for spiritual growth, fellowship building, and community outreach to take place.
Preparation
Coach John Wooden said, “When opportunity comes, it’s too late to prepare.” We desire to be prepared when God expands the ministry opportunities that we have here at Pennway! Through both stewardship and preparation, God receives the glory and this campaign will allow us to expand Pennway’s ministry opportunities in our community.

OUR HOPE
To be a place where people walk in as strangers and walk out as family. Where they encounter God, desire to build a deeper relationship with Him, and become disciple-makers wherever they go.
To be a place where ministry can take place, thrive, and grow within each person that enters into our building.
To be a place and a people that is ready “in and out of season” to join in whatever the Lord is doing here in our community.
Why Campaign? Why Now ?
Why? Because community and family support is what allows for the ministries of Pennway Church of God to happen and thrive! Tithes and Offerings manage the day-in and day-out operations while a Capital Campaign is purposed with looking to the future and funding the larger projects that are outside the scope of general giving. Campaigns are a way to dig deep and invest even further into the Generational Impact that we are so focused on. Campaigns are designed to be “over-and-beyond” your normal giving commitments. These funds are used to facilitate future growth, ministries, and impact to Pennway and the community.
Why now? We have been blessed with the completion of some major projects through our partnership with Hope Christian School, but there are other significant projects that haven’t been tackled that need to be addressed. Projects that involve the structural components of the building that need repair and replacement. These projects will allow us to shift our focus solely towards ministry and not stress over the building itself.
