Debt Free - One Foot at a Time Campaign:
Financing for the building was provided by a caring philanthropist in Fairbanks who loaned the money interest-free. In 2006 the donor requested repayment of those funds, causing the Church to having to refinance the loan, which it has done. The interest payments alone are $12,000 per month. However, the overriding goal of the Church is to be able to devote the maximum amount of its resources to directly meeting the needs of the community. To that end, we are kicking off its “Debt-Free One Foot at a Time” campaign to repay this debt - $2.2 million ­ in as short a time as possible, hopefully three years or less.

To put this ambitious goal into manageable pieces, we came up with an amount per square foot of the Church building’s footprint - $55 per square foot. This allows just about anyone with a desire ­ even teenagers and younger - to contribute. You can own part of your church. You can buy as many feet as you like. You will even receive a deed of your ownership. Other opportunities are available to buy an entire room and even name a room. We will be in the foyer before and after church each Sunday to answer questions or take pledges and donations. Your prayers and support are needed and appreciated.

I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Joshua 1:3
