given with thankfulness to God

As we closed out 2024 with thanks to God, we invited extra one-off gifts above normal giving to make our buildings better for proclaiming Jesus.

 
 

What have we done so far?

So far, we’ve invested about $90k to pay for City and GS works that were beyond the original scope.

  • City Foyer foyer acoustic treatment ✅
    $7,247

  • Garden Suburb foyer acoustic treatment ✅
    $27,507

  • Garden Suburb and City other works ✅
    Painting, seats, furniture, screens, cupboards, AV
    $29,424

  • Unichurch AV & meal prep needs (partial)
    $16,335

So altogether so far we’ve invested $89,952 leaving $79,370

 

What is still in the works?

With the remaining $80k we’re planning to invest this all in the Garden Suburb Kitchen upgrade.

This will include;

  • Cool room

  • Combi oven

  • Overhead extractor fan

  • Dishwasher

  • Shelving and Prep area

  • Initial electrical works (completed)

While some of these works have started (e.g. initial electrical upgrade) we’re still in the process of getting quotes and arranging the best timing for these works, while also making sure we have a healthy operating cashflow.
