Goal 1
Pay down as much debt as possible.
Why? To avoid an increase in our monthly payment when our 5-year lock on interest rate expires in August of 2025. Our projections tell us we need to pay down our principle by at least $750,000 to keep our payments at their current level.
Current youth space in the Power House.
Goal 2
Relocate our youth ministry.
How? By completing the unfinished space on the third floor of the CLC and updating the Community Room. This will cost approximately $500,000.
Why? This will provide approximately 4,000 square feet for Sunday School rooms and meeting space. These rooms will be more functional, more welcoming, and will allow for a doubling of current attendance. The Community Room will provide a student-friendly worship space for Wednesday night Power Hour.

Future space for the youth on Wednesday nights.
Ministry Outcomes
Paying down debt will enable us to continue our current ministries without cutting back in some areas and allow us to expand our reach into the community. We also want to invest in ministering to the unique needs of students and their families. Our youth ministry was the first to return to pre-pandemic participation levels, which speaks to the vitality and potential of this ministry.
The Plan
By entering a three-year campaign, we ensure our ability to continue sharing Christ and building believers here at Bonsack.
By raising $2 million to pay down our debt and renovate spaces for our youth ministry, we not only free up money to support other ministries; we also can put ourselves in a position to pay off the loan early, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest. Imagine the impact this could have on the kingdom of God! This is why every dollar raised beyond our goal will go directly towards debt reduction.
Action Steps
We have all been blessed by the generosity, sacrifice, and vision of those who came before us. It’s our turn now to invest in those who come behind us!
1. Pray that God will use this effort to encourage our congregation to participate in the larger purpose of sharing Christ and building believers.
2. Begin praying over the financial commitment you and your household can make over the next three years to invest in the future of Bonsack Baptist Church.
