Each day the goals are designed to help you and others experience God’s love in some way. Some things will involve your social media or texting and others involve sharing your faith story. The idea over the next 3 weeks is to help your friends, family and acquaintances see how amazing God is!
Think of it like we’re all going on a digital missions trip together as a church. We believe this will have a huge impact on our area as we all jump on board.

You can also visit the Imagine 2020 to learn more about what has been recently accomplished and what is in the works for 2021 and beyond.
In March of 2020, our Membership voted unanimously to empower the Deacon Board to proceed with the IMAGINE2020 plan launched in 2018 to refinance our existing mortgage and secure a remodel loan up to $100,000 and add an additional $50,000 cash.
Here is an update on how God is helping us accomplish this amazing objective.
The goal of the refinance is to save the church money long term and position us for a brighter financial future
Our goal is to renovate our church building to provide a more welcoming and friendly facility for first-time guests, families, and the fellowship of the church family.
We plan to fully convert the Fireside Room into a multi-purpose studio for kids, youth, and adult ministries.

We will renovate the hallway at the entry of the building by making an open-concept lobby.
We will convert the old office into a new Mother’s Room.
We will paint and re-floor the Worship Center. We will renovate the stage and build an enclosed media booth.
We will relocate the office upstairs where we can have two offices.
We will replace the sign on the corner of Park & Floating Feather, and put a new sign on the building.
Actual construction costs may make all or some of the goals possible. We are currently accepting bids. We will see a savings of almost $300,000 with this plan.
We expect to begin construction this Spring and have a goal to be finished in Summer 2021.
During August 2020, the Deacon Board reviewed three offers for refinancing and unanimously decided to accept a new 15-year loan that will save the church almost $105,000 in interest, get us out of debt sooner, and infuse $100,000 cash for work on the remodel. It will also allow us to pay off an additional $318,000 over the next 15 years.
We also received counsel from the Southern Idaho Ministry Network Superintendent and area Presbyter, as well as from the mortgage company, AG Financial.
The only downside to the new mortgage is a $767/month increase in the monthly payment. In faith, we believe God will provide the increase needed to cover this expense because the benefit is so much more.
As part of this process, we received a Brokers Opinion of Value (BOV). The BOV is used by the lending agencies to access the value of the church property as-is. The BOV concluded that the church building is worth $1,617,990 ($110/square foot, $110,000 per acre). This is an increase from $1,197,593 accessed in 2010. Therefore, our church property has increased in value $420,397 (35%) in 10 years. This increase will be updated on the fixed assets portion of the balance sheet at the end of this year.
