December 2025 Update

ABLE: Hope for the Future, Love for the City

ABLE is fueling ministry and reducing debt. Less than one year into the funding initiative, we’re excited to report that we’ve received $2,900,000 in giving. Thanks to your generosity, we’re off to a solid start toward the $10,000,000, three-year goal.

And we’re already seeing results! We’ve reduced our long-term debt obligation by $1,940,000. And thanks to your gifts toward ABLE, Woodmen Downtown is off to an amazing start. Attendance has doubled from our previous location, as more people experience the life-changing love of Jesus each week.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

Our year-end Able Initiative goal is to reach the $3,300,000 mark by December 31. And thanks to a few generous lead-gifts from faithful donors, we received $240,000 in just the last two weeks! Only $400,000 remaining to reach our goal. There are thousands of us who call Woodmen home, and if we each do our part, we’ll get there together!

Hitting $3,300,000 by year-end will keep us moving forward with debt reduction and set the stage for the second phase of renovations at Woodmen Downtown. Improvements in kids and students spaces are next on the list. And great things are still ahead for our downtown community, including a coffee shop to foster hope-filled conversations and caring relationships with friends and neighbors.

Year end is a great time to consider an above-and-beyond gift, as we give back to God for His blessings in our lives. Will you ask the Lord how you might participate in Able this December? We’re excited for the story He is writing through the faithfulness of the people of Woodmen, and for our kingdom impact in the decades to come.
