Phase Two
So Close to the Finish Line
The total cost is $3.25 million. Because of faithful giving, we began with $1.25M already set aside. Through the Reaching Beyond campaign, almost $1.4M has been pledged or given.
Total Funded $2.65M of $3.25M
Only $600,000 to go to fully fund this project

This campus is where children and students first hear about Jesus. Where families find hope. Where people find healing. Reaching this goal means continuing to trust God for what He can do through us together.

God Is at Work in Bethany First
