Capital
Campaign

Nine Projects. One Result.
Love God. Love People.

First United Methodist Church of Arlington is committed to making guests and members feel welcome from the moment they arrive on our campus. Learn more about how we have already taken steps towards being the church we believe God desires for us to be in our community and world, and what steps remain to achieve this goal.

​

Prior to the COVID pandemic in March of 2020, we kicked off a $500,000 Capital Campaign targeting the following improvements to our church: 

1. Sanctuary Sound

2. Sanctuary Video and Production

3. Children's Downstairs Improvements

4. Children's Upstairs Improvements

5. Great Hall Video and Production

6. Wayfinding Signage

7. Welcome Center

8. Downstairs Main Hall Bathrooms

9. Children's Playground

​

Although COVID slowed us down, we were able to raise $140,000, and with those funds we were able to complete the first five items on that list. 

 

For each of the remaining areas considerable work has been completed to fully define the need, identify the scope of work and understand the cost of the improvements. Read on for a brief summary of each area of remaining improvements.

Securely Give Online

Your gifts help us love God & people and live into the dreams and hopes God has for us as a family of faith.

Sanctuary Audio & Video Improvements

New Screens & Projectors

Screens were installed on both sides of the Sanctuary, which allow us to display photos and videos, in addition to elements of worship like hymn lyrics and liturgy, for use in worship and special events. The screens retract when not in use. Two LCD laser projectors were installed along with the screens to provide crisp and clear images no matter what the lighting in the sanctuary is. A large screen reference monitor was added at the back of the room for use by Choir singers and clergy during worship and events.

Audio Upgrades

Our old speakers were removed and replaced with two vertical tower arrays. These allow for sound engineers to adjust and direct the sound in ways that are more appropriate for the complexities of the Sanctuary.

Broadcast Room Upgrades

We upgraded low quality Sanctuary cameras to Full-HD cameras as well as adding new cameras to feature the organist and pianist. Monitoring and control equipment was upgraded within the broadcast room to allow for increased recording and streaming capabilities. 

Ways to Give

We are so grateful to all who have already given towards improving our church’s hospitality to our members and guests.

One of our 2024 churchwide initiatives is to complete funding for the capital campaign this year.

We ask that you prayerfully consider making a one time or ongoing gift towards this effort.

As funds are raised for these improvements, we will continue completing them in order of priority.
