The organiza-tional work for our “Heart for the Heartland” capital stewardship
campaign is underway and, beginning on October 21 you will be hearing about this exciting opportunity for the SCBC Family to take another significant step as we seek to reach The Heartland with the hope and joy of Jesus Christ.
What?
“Heart for the Heartland” promises to be a time of spiritual growth and faith-
building which stirs our hearts as God’s people at South County Baptist Church come together in equal sacrifice to provide the funds to completely retire our current building & land debt and to raise the initial funds to see our Vision 2020 building concept completed.
Why?
It’s really not about the building or getting out of debt, though. “Heart for the Heartland” is ultimately about providing the resources for more ministry.
South County Baptist Church exists to equip Christians to carry the Gospel to the
Heart for the Heartland . . . Be involved, be informed, be in prayer!
people of The Heartland and around the world.
“Heart for the Heartland” will provide the funds to enlarge and enhance our ministry facilities so that we can continue to connect families and individuals with the life-changing truth of God’s Word.
As we experience “Heart for the Heartland” together, we all have a responsibility in its success. Here’s yours:
Be involved!
Be informed!
Be in prayer!
Together, we are going to see God do amazing things!
In His Joy!
