What is the value in owning our own building?

 

The purpose of our own building is twofold:

1. Sapphire Life Church’s main ministry and outreach to the community for the past 5 years has been through Sapphire Life Opportunities, our charity.

 

This is currently housed in the Main Street of Merimbula and serves as the following:

• a food pantry

• a community hub and connection centre through: children’s programmes, adult groups, an informal meeting centre to name a few.

 

It also serves as a space for the senior Pastor of the Church .

 

As a result of the ever-increasing demands by both the community, the charity and the church, plus exciting new projects in the pipeline that aim at benefiting everyone in the community , we need a bigger space.

We also are looking for something that we can adapt to our purposes, and which can grow as we grow.

After all, as the saying goes ‘Rent money is dead money!'

​

Paying rent to house both our charity as well as our church services may not be the optimal use of our money.

​

So prayerfully, our proposal is that Sapphire Life Opportunities will buy a building, as it will be the main user, and Sapphire Life Church will rent space from it .

 

Because Sapphire Life Opportunities is a registered tax deductible gift recipient, all donations toward our building fund are 100% tax deductible.
