Arvada Future Fund

How Can You Contribute to the Future Fund?

One-Time Gift Today

You can give a one-time financial gift today directly to our Future Fund. All proceeds will go toward the purchase, maintenance, and updates of property owned by the Arvada Vineyard, along with future initiatives of kingdom impact.

10% of each donation will also be tithed to Convoy of Hope.

Pledged Gift for the Future

Often our ability to give over time is higher, producing a much greater impact than the financial resources we have on hand.

You can choose to give a future one-time gift or a future recurring gift from today through the end of 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions

I noticed we aren’t doing the One Day offering for Convoy of Hope. Is Convoy still an MHV partner? Is care for the poor still important to our church?

Yes, absolutely—care for the poor is still a core value at MHV and Convoy of Hope continues to be one of our trusted ministry partners. Instead of the traditional One Day offering this year, we’ve chosen to allocate 10% of all donations to the Future Fund to Convoy of Hope this year. Given the total fundraising goal we are hoping and praying we raise for the Future Fund, we anticipate our total contribution to Convoy of Hope this year will be equal to or even exceed what we have given in previous years.

What is the difference between a pledge and a one-time gift?

Great question. We want to enable givers to be generous in any and every way the Lord leads.

  • One-Time Gift: Some people have access to financial resources and can give it immediately as a one-time gift.
  • Pledge: Some people have a greater giving potential if they give over time, such as out of their a monthly budget or perhaps quarterly investment earnings. Pledges will be collected through the end of 2025.

 

Most givers may choose one or the other, while some might feel called and able to give both a one-time gift and a recurring pledge.

I saw the price of the building, but I never saw how much we were trying to raise. What is that amount?

We have intentionally called this the Arvada Future Fund because we are dreaming big for the future of our church. While our primary goal is to raise at least $550,000 for the building’s down payment, we’re not stopping there. We also envision funding other key initiatives, like building improvements or purchasing a home in the neighborhood to establish a Church Planter Residency Training Center. That’s why we’ve chosen not to set an upper limit on our fundraising goal—we’re hoping to seed the future for even more.

Shouldn’t we just sell the current building?

Not necessarily. While selling the building is an option, we prefer to keep it and rent it to another church planter. Our vision has always been to plant more churches in Denver so that God might transform the spiritual landscape of our city. By retaining the building, we align with this mission and also keep an asset that could appreciate in value over time. That said, if circumstances change, we could consider selling it in the future.

If we don’t raise enough money can we still afford the building?
Yes, we have several options for funding the building purchase, even if we don’t reach our fundraising goal. If the down payment is lower than expected, we can adjust our current budget to accommodate a higher mortgage payment. This flexibility allows us to move forward regardless of the total amount raised.
 
However, our fundraising success will shape our future ministry capabilities. The more we raise, the more we can invest in our mission, reducing financial strain and enabling us to use our new space as a powerful tool for Kingdom work.
Couldn’t we just stay here? I like the size of our church.

While staying in our current location is technically possible, we’re facing some significant challenges. We are outgrowing our space, especially when it comes to parking and children’s ministry. Staying here limits our ability to reach more people with the good news of Jesus. We believe God’s heart is expansive, extending beyond Denver to the entire world. As long as God continues to entrust us with more people and families, we’re committed to making room for them.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Yes. Your donation is tax-deductible as a financial gift to a non-profit religious organization just like your regular giving is.

Why would we buy a building without hiring a new Arvada Lead Pastor?

There is a lot of transition happening right now at the Arvada Vineyard. We have been looking for a building to better suit Arvada Vineyard’s needs as we continue to grow into the future—and this is a rare opportunity. As we work toward our next steps for an Arvada pastor, we believe this is the best step for the church presently and  one that will set up that future pastor up for success.

Can I donate stock?

Yes. We are able to receive stock donations and would welcome this as a means by which you can contribute to the Arvada Future Fund. If interested, please email Becca Knudsen for details: becca@milehighvineyard.org.
