Tent Pegs
The Benefits of Continuous Regular Giving
New Phase - "Roots Secure and Branching Out"
Branching out to build the large assembly building that was completed in December 2024! This large assembly building provides a large climate-controlled space for our special needs guests/wheelchairs and a worship center for our campus-wide youth and adult programs. The final construction cost doubled from its estimate in 2020 after saving $1.2 million. A construction loan was obtained from Christian Financial Resources to finish the build. We are working to pay off this loan as quickly as possible.
Our previous goal retired a $720,000 mortgage 40 months early (January 2020) saving close to $70,000 in interest with 450 tent peg commitments. To God be the glory!

What does a "tent peg" do for Lake Aurora?
-
It's a stake. Tent Pegs are our main source for expansion and large improvements.
-
Allow for growth! While $25 a month seems small, when coupled with 450 others, it will provide a consistent cash flow to build needed program space debt-free.
-
It involves everyone. Teamwork gets the job done! Christians working together display the awesome power of our God. Whether it is a one-time gift of $900 or $25 a month over three years.
-
It moves us beyond today into tomorrow. Never has a time been greater to pool our resources to expand a ministry where one can 'be still and know that I am God".
-
With the debt paid, our roots are now secure, and we are free to branch out to the next opportunity. We will continue to use the 'Tent Peg' to reach these goals.
