Give

Where gifts go first

Phase 1 is the land. Every dollar given now advances the purchase of 150–250 acres and its first infrastructure. When the land closes, giving turns to the church. Donors at every level receive project updates and are remembered by name in the prayers of the community.

Founding donor tiers

🌱 Mustard Seed — up to $500. The Kingdom’s own arithmetic: small gifts, faithfully given. Every Mustard Seed donor is recorded in the community’s Book of Founders and remembered at the services.

🌾 Sower — $500–$2,500. Sowers fund the practical first steps: surveys, legal work, wells, fencing, the unglamorous foundations of everything. Book of Founders + annual founders’ report.

🍎 Orchard Keeper — $2,500–$10,000. A gift at this level plants things that outlive us — literally, in the case of the orchard and blueberry fields it will help establish. Benefits above + invitation to annual on-site founders’ day.

🪵 Timber Guild — $10,000–$50,000. The Timber Guild raises the buildings: the church frame, the school, the young adult house. Benefits above + name (or family or memorial name) inscribed in the completed church’s founders’ inscription.

🪨 Cornerstone — $50,000–$250,000. Cornerstone donors anchor entire components of the vision — a wing of the ministry house, the school building, major church elements. Benefits above + a specific naming opportunity + consultation visits with project leadership.

⛪ Founders’ Circle — $250,000+. The land itself. Founders’ Circle gifts directly enable the property purchase and the church’s construction. Permanent memorial commemoration in the church, in consultation with the donor and clergy — named in the diptychs, prayed for at every Liturgy served on land they gave.

Naming opportunities

The church bell(s) · the iconostasis · individual icons · the young adult house, or individual rooms (20 available) · the school building and classrooms · the orchard, the blueberry fields, named pasture and field parcels · the cemetery gate and cross. All namings subject to clergy blessing; memorial namings especially welcome.
