Give

It has been 12 months since we started our building fund and matching campaign, so we figured it was time for an update!

Through everyone’s very generous donations, we have raised over $667,000 towards our new building, Glory to God! We are still in the design phase, but are estimating that this is about half of what we will need to finish the building we are planning. Our new goal is to raise $1,000,000 and either apply for financing for the remaining, or God willing, receive all the funds we need through donation.

We have officially sent plans to the engineer and architect. Our current design is for a worship space/ parish hall building all in one. There will be a wall dividing those two areas with large windows. This will assist parents with small kids so they can still see and hear the service from the “narthex” area if they need to remove loud babies. In addition, it will also provide overflow space when services are especially crowded. The wall will be non-load-bearing, so in the future, when the temple is built, the entire space will be transformed into one large parish meeting area. The building will also have a library/bookstore space, a nursery, a large “food prep” area, men’s and women’s bathrooms, and a furnace/utility room.

What a blessing it will be to worship next to our cemetery with loved ones so close by. Please continue to pray for our parish as we grow. May the Panagia and Sts. Joachim and Anna intercede for us all.

If you would like to contribute, you may do so via GiveSendGo, Tithe.ly, or by cash or check made out to Sts. Joachim and Anna with "building fund" in the memo and mailed to PO Box 745, Goldendale, WA 98620.

Thank you for your support and prayers!
