The Planted Campaign
Planted in the past. Planted in the present. Planted for the future. This has always been the story of Park Community Church. From 1946 to today, a faithful body of believers has called our church home and planted themselves in St. Louis Park with a mission to be and make disciples of Jesus Christ.
The Story
As a new church, we were blessed to gather and grow in a beautiful and meaningful old church building for the past 10 years. Since 2015, Park Community Church has grown from approximately 150 to 400 people, with a unique burst of growth among kids, youth, and young adults. People from all ages and stages now gather hungry to worship Jesus together – pursuing intimacy, authenticity, and simplicity with God, self, and others.
By God’s grace, the current reality is that our church family is outgrowing its facility. The current building has been changed several times since the 1950s to meet the needs of expanding ministries. We face the same opportunity now.
Campaign Objectives
LEGACY MINDED
We will look for ways to honor the past and carry pieces of it forward into our new building—physically and spiritually. We are proud to build the future of Park on its rich history of service and ministry.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
As individuals and families step out in faith and give sacrificially to support this campaign, we believe they will experience God’s provision in tangible, measurable ways that will lead to immeasureable spiritual growth.
UNITED CHURCH
The local church is God’s chosen vehicle for carrying out his kingdom mission on earth, and he often calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things. We have the opportunity to collectively trust in God, work together and see this goal realized.
ALL-IN PARTICIPATION
We desire that everyone at Park joins this collective effort and gives cheerfully, as they are able and led by the Spirit. While it is essential that we raise the necessary funds, it is equally essential that we do it together as a community.
GOD’S GLORY
Our goal is to raise $9 million — that’s triple the amount we were told we could raise. But we serve a God who can do abundantly more than we can imagine. We believe God will move in our hearts and lead us to a successful campaign.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Rebuilding in our current location is intentional, as we desire to expand our reach by becoming a refuge and resource for the St. Louis Park community. Beyond Sundays, we envision our new building being utilized seven days a week.
Financial Strategy
The total estimated cost of the new building is $10 to $12 million. We believe that if we raise $9 million as a congregation and combine that with a reasonable loan, we can complete the building project and begin the next chapter in Park’s story.
