Igniting Opportunity

Things to Remember…

Answers to frequently asked questions:

• OPC’s location at 202 N. Pines is where all of our demographics studies indicated that OPC needed to be located

• Our new building represents the completion of OPC’s building vision

• It is important to remember that the Igniting Opportunity Campaign is to be an “over and above” campaign, meaning that we need to continue our Stewardship pledged contributions to OPC.

Stewardship (General Fund) giving goes to:

1. 1. Pay for church operations, and
2. 2. OPC Synod loan payment

• Contributions made specifically to the Igniting Opportunity campaign beginning July 1, 2010 and for the next 3 years (we will have special colored envelopes specifically for the Igniting Campaign) will be applied as follows per the Dahlman offer, which was accepted by Session:

• 1. the first $20,000 of Igniting contributions will go to establishing a Maintenance Budget for OPC

• 1. all Igniting contributions after the first $20,000 to fund the Maintenance Budget will go towards the principal of the Dahlman loan – during the 3 year campaign period the Dahlman’s will forgive all interest due – a sum of about $195,000

• Igniting Opportunity is more than a campaign theme – it is a noteworthy chapter in the history of the church.

• We gratefully acknowledge both the generosity and the leadership which Connie and Andy Dahlman have shown to all of us at OPC. It is proof positive of their love for this place!!
