The Lord has called us to open a brand new church plant in Prineville, Oregon. It's called New Beginnings Church of Central Oregon. Prineville has a need for an evangelical Christian, non-denominational venue for those who feel disenfranchised by other churches in the area and every other soul in the area that needs us. Jesus commanded us in Acts 1:8 "...you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Notice He started with Jerusalem. The mission starts at home. Our mission is to Save the Lost, Build the Found, and Take This World Over For Jesus with Relentless Pursuit.
We have located a suitable building and negotiated a fair price on the lease, but of course there are startup costs involved, and we simply do not have the funds for everything involved. Although he was kind enough to give us the first two months rent for free, the landlord wants a $2000.00 deposit plus the first months rent of $943.65 plus the first month’s monthly common area maintenance charge of $272.61 for a total of $3,216.26 and a million dollar liability policy. That's before we move in.
Of course, once we have the bulding secured then we have to furnish it. Just the basics at first, seating and a sound system come to mind, but I'm sure there are more, deposits for utilities, etc.
