Timelines and Trust

The ABLE initiative is designed to last three-years, beginning in 2025. To allow us to dream big and still begin work at the earliest possible date, the overall project will be divided into multiple steps.

We’re off to a flying start! We’ve closed escrow on the new property. ABLE will fund this purchase and the cost of significant remediation to bring the 90-year-old building up to current safety standards. Renovations to ensure that the spaces are welcoming and first-impression ready will be rolled into the initiative. This work will take place in stages over the next two to three years.

We’re all-systems-go to launch in April 2025, with weekend worship services and great programs for kids and students. Additional work will take place over subsequent months to be ready for our ACTS Resource Center, intern housing, 1979 Coffee and more, to leverage all the space in the 45,000 sq. ft. facility.

From architectural, planning and site work, to construction and finishing, the entire project will take sustained effort and funding over the full three years of the ABLE initiative. We’re excited to keep you posted as work progresses!

BECOMING DEBT FREE


Over the lifespan of the ABLE initiative, we’ll fund the elimination of Woodmen’s debt. We'll maximize financial stewardship and free up resources for expanded week-in, week-out ministry by the church body, and for responding in faith to new ministry opportunities that God will provide. 


OUR OPPORTUNITY TO TRUST AND GIVE


We’re trusting God for $10,000,000. It’s an audacious goal, but He is ABLE! The good news is that as we launch the initiative, we already have $580,000 in our ABLE fund, thanks to early, generous gifts from people who are committed to the vision. Praise the Lord! When you combine the extraordinary opportunities presented by our debt-free future with the strategic ministry home base of our Downtown Campus, God is opening doors for the people of Woodmen to multiply our kingdom impact for decades to come!
