Kingdom Capital
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS KINGDOM CAPITAL?
You have probably noticed the category on our offering envelopes titled "Kingdom Capital," but if you're like most of us it's significance seemed elusive. This article was written to explain what Kingdom Capital is and why it is important to contribute offerings to this fund.
For many years MCE had a huge mortgage payment which had to be paid every month. During that time we had a special account titled "Debt Retirement" for offerings to pay-off the mortgage early. During those years our mortgage payments were so high that many building and grounds maintenance & improvement needs had to be deferred. Though the mortgage has now been paid-off (Praise the Lord!), so many of our building and grounds needs have gotten to the point that they are very major projects. These include roofs, parking lots & drainage, air & heating units, improved handicap accessibility, carpeting, and more.
For this reason the "Debt Retirement Account" became the "Kingdom Capital Account." Your elder/deacon board has ear-marked all funds contributed to this account to be used for maintenance and improvement of our building and grounds. So when you give into the Kingdom Capital Fund, you can rest assured that your contributions will be used solely for this purpose. As you look around the church and see needs in our building and grounds, ask youself and God how you can help meet those needs. Maybe you'd like to begin giving a specific amount each month into Kingdom Capital: or maybe you could give a one-time offering according to how God has blessed you. If we all do our part, every need will be met!
Finally, it should be noted that giving into Kingdom Capital should only occur after you have met your obligations of God's tithe and other commitments you have made such as missions. We can never out-give our God!
