MULTIPLY is a two-year expression of our vision to minister on the campus, in our community, and beyond. Within this vision is a two-year-long financial campaign that will fuel all of our efforts. MULTIPLY’s success will depend upon 100% of our church family’s participation.
Even in our branding, we have always had a thin “x” in the middle of our name, "Salt Church." This represents our passion for the gospel, disciples, and the Kingdom to multiply in Gainesville and beyond. We want the hope of Heaven to spread. We want growing numbers of people worshiping Jesus and experiencing “life abundant” in His presence. We want disciples who make disciples. To the ends of the Earth, we desire to MULTIPLY!
Our greatest desire is to purchase a building. We believe this would move us towards greater stability and permanence in this community. In the event that we are unable to purchase a building, we believe our next best option is signing a long-term lease somewhere that meets our square footage, parking, and campus-proximity needs. Our elders are exploring all of these options at present.
Your giving will fund Salt Church's ministry vision for the next 2 years on the campus, in our community, and beyond. Additionally, this giving also includes the purchase of a long term home. We desire all who call Salt Church their home to prayerfully fill out a commitment card and turn it in on November 3rd, Commitment Sunday. This card will help our elders make wise financial decisions throughout our two-year giving journey. Keep in mind that the sum on your commitment card should represent the next TWO years worth of your current giving + expanded giving + gifts from stored resources.
The MULTIPLY teaching series will run from October 6th-November 3rd. During these 5 weeks, we will also engage in a daily, digital prayer journey and participate in a 3-week-excursion-like prayer tour. We finish our 5-week teaching series on November 3rd —Commitment Sunday. Celebration Sunday is two weeks later, November 17th. The financial timeline runs from November 3rd, 2024 through December of 2026. As we journey forward, we will continually highlight stories, provide financial updates, and celebrate landmark moments along the way!
If Salt Church proceeds with the building we are attempting to purchase, our 2-year financial goal is to raise $3 million from the Salt church community, secure $2 million in bank financing, and obtain the remaining $2 million from external donors, such as partner churches and other outside contributors.
Giving to MULTIPLY is simple and easy! On Salt Church’s website, there is a “Give” button that will take you straight to our MULTIPLY (general) fund. For any additional one-time gifts that you would like to make during the two-year campaign, follow the same giving procedure!
Absolutely. James 4 helps us realize that none of us knows the future. We encourage everyone to give in light of the present we do know instead of the future we do not. Additionally, if the Lord does lead you outside of Gainesville over the next two years, we trust that your next church home would rejoice in your Kingdom-minded commitment to see lives changed and a ministry flourish in a different part of God’s greater harvest field.
"Unless the Lord builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the Lord watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain. In vain you get up early and stay up late, eating food earned by hard work; certainly He gives sleep to the one He loves." - Psalm 127 : 1-2
