Capital Campaign 2024

Welcome to the 2024 St. Mark’s Capital Campaign web page!

1st May – 1st July

Target =$250,000 | Raised =$26,000

Aims

Two of the aims of St. Mark’s are to…

  • Maximise the usability, functionality, flexibility, and accessibility of our spaces to bless both the congregation and the wider community.
  • Provide relevant opportunities for people to meet and gather in both church and non-church locations.

The Need

We need sustainable community spaces where we can hold meetings – parent and toddler groups, bereavement support groups, provide food, and more as well as providing affordable spaces that can be hired out to the whole Smith’s Parish community.

The Solution

Our vision is to develop the parish hall as a useable space for the whole community — by creating a community lounge alongside the existing hall space, and making the space available during the week. Through eliminating the church debt we will be able to increase our cashflow, and no longer be dependent on permanent parish hall tenants, thus providing a space for the whole community. We also hope to open up St. Mark’s Church for the whole community to enjoy this sacred landmark.

The Background

Back in 2015, the first stage of our redevelopment was to improve the parking and kitchen facilities. Now, our attention is going to be on the community spaces themselves. We plan to remove the old concertina divides and provide a comfortable lounge space for meetings and gatherings to take place. To meet the initial needs, a large loan was taken out. We still have $190,000 left to pay on this loan but by removing this burden we will be able to sustain our projects with our increased cashflow.

More than just a capital campaign…

This capital campaign is more than just a money-raiser. During May and June, we will be gathering volunteers to undertake maintenance works such as cleaning, varnishing, and painting, to improve the hall and church spaces.
