Raise the Roof Campaign

As you know, our KUMC building has served us well, but over time, it has required repairs and replacement of items to keep our congregation safe, warm, and dry. Currently, we have two substantial items that require immediate attention.

The church roof is leaking and requires immediate replacement. Additionally, our fire alarm system is failing. The trustees estimate replacing the roof and fire alarm system will cost $400,000. Both need to be done this year.

While $400,000 is a very big number, KUMC is blessed that we can do this work without taking out a loan. However, we do need to raise $80,000 to supplement the savings and gifts we already have. Please prayerfully consider what you can give to bless those who have gone before us and those who will follow, all worshiping under the roof of our beloved KUMC. Every gift is important, no matter the size.
