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! Escrow is closed on the new property, and the first stage of renovations is mostly complete. ABLE funds the purchase and has covered significant remediation to bring the 90-year-old building up to current safety standards. Renovations have ensured that the spaces are welcoming and first-impression ready, with more improvements planned as part of the ongoing initiative. This work continues in stages over the next two to three years.

We officially launched in April 2025 with weekend worship services and great programs for kids and students. Additional work is underway to prepare for our ACTS Resource Center, intern housing, 1979 Coffee, and more—fully leveraging the 45,000 sq. ft. facility.

From architectural planning and site work to construction and finishing, the entire project requires sustained effort and funding throughout 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!
