Let’s get to the point. MADE FOR MORE is a capital campaign. More than just a fundraising exercise, this campaign is a focused effort to recognize fully and honestly what the Word of God says about stewardship. For some, it will be the beginning of developing trust in God. For others, it may be the final piece in giving God control over every aspect of their lives. No matter where you’re at with your stewardship, you are invited to grow in faithful giving.

Four Things To Know About This Campaign

  1. 3-year campaign ending in 2025.

  2. Goal of 100% participation

       • If you are not currently giving at St. Mark’s,
          take a step to give to our general fund.

       • If you are currently giving at St. Mark’s, take
          the extra step to give to the MADE FOR
          MORE
    capital campaign as well.

  3. Accountability. Transparency. Communication. We promise to be accountable with how funds are used, transparent in spending only what has been given and how we divide that spending, and communicate at least quarterly on our progress.

  4. Faith at the Core More than anything, we desire this campaign to be something that increases your faith as you see God provide for you, your family, and our faith community.

After thorough deliberation, prayer, and compromise by church leaders, three priorities emerged. While you may feel strongly about a single priority, our work as the body of Christ requires us to appropriately channel our resources to accomplish the greatest good.  The specific allocation of funds will depend on the amount raised in this three-year campaign. The distribution is shown to the left. Note: no funds will be spent until the money is in hand.

  • The Goal: More ministry and no mortgage!

  • The Goal: More church locations and more equitable housing in our community.

    PRIORITIES:

    1. Satellite locations (church planting)

    2. Low-cost rentals in Cedar Rapids

  • The Goal: More on-site campus transformation and community use.

    Priorities:
    1. LED screen in Faith Worship Center
    2. Multi-purpose pavilion
    3. Capitalize on the Tower Terrace Road expansion and open up our campus to more community use.
