We want to provide you with an update on our Overflowing Campaign for our building
expansion. Over the past few months, we’ve been diligently working to ensure unity and clarity
in our approach. This has included integrating new elders into the campaign, reviewing feedback,
and aligning our plans.

Thanks to your incredible generosity and God’s abundant blessings, we’ve received over $3.5
million in commitments for our facility expansion. We are deeply grateful for your support and
praise God for the resources He has provided through you!

We have directed the Building Committee to obtain quotes for various options. Our goal is to
make the most of the $3.5 million we have committed and to keep the total cost of the expansion
within $5 million. To achieve this, we will finance up to $1.5 million. This approach will allow
us to continue our current ministries and missions while moving forward with the expansion.
We provided the Building Committee the following prioritized elements for the expansion:

    1. Children’s classrooms

    1. Fellowship area and adult classrooms

    1. Ministry workrooms

    1. A fully functional kitchen
      If we cannot achieve all these priorities within the $5 million budget, we will select the option
      that provides the most immediate benefits and has a clear path for future completion of all those
      elements.
      As always, your feedback is crucial to us. Please feel free to reach out to any of the elders with
      your thoughts and comments. Thank you for your patience, generosity, and dedication to
      advancing the Lord’s work here at Madison.
      You may provide your Overflowing Campaign donations now or at any time and thank you to all
      of you who have already started sending in your commitments. Those funds have been set aside
      in a separate building fund as will all future donations. Please keep your campaign donations
      separate from your weekly contributions. Providing your campaign donations can be done in
      various ways as follows:

    • Online: You may submit your donations on a regular schedule or provide one-time
      donations by going HERE.

    • Checks: You may place checks in the offering baskets in the foyers at any time. Please
