Cultivate

A capital campaign for our second century of ministry

The Cultivate Capital Campaign is a monumental movement to sow faith, root hope, and reap love for the next generation. Through your contributions to the Cultivate Capital Campaign, we will:

• • Renovate the B, C, and D buildings for our children’s ministry
  • Address long-standing renovation and repair needs and expand the Columbarium
  • Renovate the Cornerstone House for our CROSS ministry
  • Create a Housing Fund to address the critical need for affordable housing in Charlotte
  • Invest in our Outreach partners as they adapt to a rapidly changing environment

Campus Chiller

Crucial repairs to the campus HVAC chiller, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems have been completed. This will enable Phase Two goals to be met.

B, C, & D Buildings

Our thriving Children’s Ministry reflects the growing membership of young families at Myers Park Pres. Our B, C, and D Buildings are the most heavily-used spaces in the church, as they house the Weekday School’s Half-Day and Full-Day Programs in addition to our children’s Sunday School classes.

Renovations to these spaces are critical in order to expand access and to meet the growing demand among young families in our congregation. The first part of this phase is underway with the renovation of the D Building and adding the Connector between the C and D Buildings.

We are grateful for the work of the Buildings Committee and Weekday School Board in working to ensure that our classes remain operational during construction.

Love Builds Up a Family

As of March 31, 2024, the Campaign has disbursed nearly $3.05 million to support education initiatives, affordable housing opportunities, and helping families on the verge of homelessness and food insecurity, especially in the Grier Heights neighborhood. Our partners in this effort include:

• Billingsville-Cotswold Elementary
• Crisis Assistance Ministries
• CrossRoads Corporation
• Communities in Schools
• Loaves & Fishes/Friendship Trays
• YWCA After School Program

We’ll continue sowing seeds of hope for families as disbursements extend through 2026. We’re committed to the long-range sustainability of our partners and will continue to support their efforts in our annual budget.
