Immanuel’s Centennial Campaign
“We will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and the wonders he has done.”
(Psalm 78:4)
Immanuel has been in Holden for almost 100 years, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus and serving our local communities with love! We are so thankful for the people who have come before us, and we’re also excited for the future of our congregation.
We’re "Honoring the Past and Embracing the Future" with a three-year Capital Campaign to make some changes to our properties that will help us better live out our purpose and fulfill our mission.
As of June 2024, our community has committed a total of $560,000 to make these changes possible!
We thank God for so much continued generosity and love! In the coming months we'll be sharing more information about projects and plans as we move forward together. If you'd like to learn more or make a commitment to our Centennial Campaign, just click below.
august 2024 update:
Dear friends in Christ at Immanuel,
Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of the Centennial Capital Campaign! We’ve started on some projects and have progress to report to you (check out below!). We plan to provide additional updates as milestone markers are met and other projects get underway. The gym oil tank has already been replaced and after the projects below, the next big focus will be the gym roof solar panels! We are awaiting roof assessments.
We’re thankful for all your generosity as we continue to honor Immanuel’s past and embrace its future.
In Christ,
Scott Hill and Bruce Kiefer, on behalf of the Steering Committee
Project 1 - Sanctuary Stained-Glass Windows
Cost: $43,710
Mid-to-Late Fall 2024 start date
Scope – Remove old, yellowed protective covering on outside of windows. Re-cement stained glass window on exterior. Remove loose paint, apply primer and finish coat. Install Klear-FloTM protective covering system in perimeter frame. On windows with vents, install Klear-FloTM such that the vent remains operational. The project includes thirteen windows, including the large rosette window in the choir loft. The window by the baptismal font will have additional work to repair bowing. Contract has been awarded to Willet Hauser, a specialty company for stained glass windows who has done work for us in the past. Work is tentatively expected to begin mid-to-late fall.
Project 2 - Sanctuary HVAC system
Cost: $32,400
August 19, 2024 start date
Scope – Install two heat pump/air handler split units. One air handler will be installed in the attic space above the baptismal font, the other air handler will replace an old/too small unit that is in the attic space above the exit to the elevator. The contract has been awarded to RJ McDonald and work began on Monday, August 19. We have prepared spaces for the air handlers – moving out stored items, providing physical access, ensuring live stream communication lines are rerouted appropriately. Additional sound proofing has also been installed. Up to two weeks have been scheduled for the work, but completion will be delayed because some parts are on back order. Some supporting electrical work will need to be accomplished to finish the project.
Project 3 - Parsonage HVAC system
Cost: $28,325
September 3, 2024 start date
Scope – Install two heat pumps. One heat pump is to supply air handler and ducting in attic space to cool/heat upper floor. That heat pump will also supply a small split unit in the attic level office. The second heat pump will be tied to four mini splits – one in living room, one in playroom, one in dining room and the forth split will be in the basement. While the oil-fired boiler will remain, the heat pumps were specified to cut oil consumption in addition to providing summer cooling. This project has also been awarded to RJ McDonald and is anticipated to begin following the sanctuary HVAC project. As part of this project, the parsonage electrical service will be upgraded to 200 amp.
Project 4 - Parsonage Windows
Cost: $13,345
Early September 2024 start date
Scope – Replace remaining original storm windows - ten in total, mostly on front of house (the rest were replaced in 2006 & 2013). Repair/replace sills as needed. The work has been awarded to TrueHome Roofing and is expected to start first week of September.
Project 5 - Parsonage Chimney
Scope – Repair flashing, repoint brick, install stainless steel flex line to boiler, rebuild crown, apply sealant. Still gathering proposals.
completed project! - gym oil tank replacement
Cost: $4,000
Scope - Drain, cut up, and remove old oil tanks in gymnasium furnace room. Replace with one tank, as we anticipate decreased demand in the future. This project was awarded to McDonald HVAC in Auburn and completed in the fall of 2023.
