SOWING SEEDS OF FAITH: 

NURTURING GROWTH


He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.   You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us.

2 Cor 9:10-11   


OUR 2025-2026 ST DUNSTAN GROWTH CAMPAIGN

Sowing for a Future Harvest

Did you know: It took 632 years to build the Cologne Cathedral.  

Imagine: The faith of congregations across generations giving their time, talent, and treasure to secure God's future vision believing in something greater than themselves . . . 

That same spirit of generational faith is our heritage here at St. Dunstan today.  Like the faithful before us who lived to see only glimpses of the fruits of their labor, we step forward, one generation sowing for another.   

“We stand at a similar moment in St. Dunstan’s history. For over 75 years,   our parish has stepped out in faith—from our 1948 parish hall to our present sanctuary. We’ve always prepared for growth, believing Christ’s Great Commission isn’t just a spiritual mandate—it’s a call to strategic action.   Today, we take another faithful step to reach future generations.”                                                                  Bishop Fraser Lawton 

Why now?

Why now?

A Joyful Opportunity  

We are Growing beyond our Capacity:     Over the years, our parish family has grown—not just in size, but in spirit. We’re now facing a blessed challenge: our space can no longer contain our calling. Worship, children’s discipleship, and ministry activities are exceeding our facility’s capacity. 

And almost simultaneously,  God opened the door for growth by presenting us with the opportunity to purchase the strategic corner lot on North Pacific and Hall Street.   

God has given us a clear next step—and we’re ready to follow.

    Sowing Seeds That Multiply  

    Sowing Seeds That Multiply  

    “He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness...” 

    2 Corinthians 9:10–11

    The Campaign is intended for more than only purchasing land –  it is a commitment to a Vision in Faith 

    Our place in the future of Christ’s Kingdom is the one we will build in our own time. The faithful throughout church history have made investments that spanned centuries, and we are honored to be part of that legacy.  

    Our vision is about creating spaces where people can encounter Christ, build community, and flourish in discipleship. 

    The Invitation — 

    Let us come together—just as we have in seasons past—and say "Yes" to what God is doing. This is our moment to plant faithfully and watch as God brings the increase.  

    We invite you to embrace this vision for our future. Your contribution isn't just a financial gift, but an investment in future disciples by reaching out in God’s grace.  

    Prayerfully consider how you might participate in this kingdom-building work. Your giving is a sacred partnership in God’s unfolding plan.

    Your gift is more than a donation—it’s a spiritual investment in lives yet to be reached. We may not know their names today, but what we build now will help welcome them home in the future.
