Mission and Vision
Capital campaigns are special efforts to raise funds for a specific project—usually, renovating or expanding a building or other construction—that requires substantial time and resources to complete. This campaign has a goal of $2.0 M for the renovation of the existing structure and the construction of a new sanctuary for Rehoboth Baptist Church. The expectation is to raise these funds over a three-year timeframe.
To bridge the gap between the past and the future, we are embarking on a campaign that works within Rehoboth’s existing mission of Bridging the Gap Between Christ and The Community. The Campaign theme of “Bridging the Gap. Sowing Seeds of Faith” gives us another opportunity to be faithful to God, our Church, and the Community through sacrificial giving. We intend to build on the past as we incorporate the history of the church through the renovations of the existing structure while preparing for the future with the construction of a new sanctuary.
Matthew 5:14 NKJV: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

What is a capital campaign?
A capital campaign is a special effort to raise funds for a specific project—usually, renovating or expanding a building or other construction—that requires substantial time and resources to complete.
How will the campaign advance our mission?
Rehoboth Baptist Church’s mission is Bridging the Gap Between Christ and the Community. The Capital Campaign’s theme of “Bridging the Gap. Sowing Seeds of Faith,” builds on this mission by challenging us to live Rehoboth’s overall mission through this sacrificial giving campaign.
Why are we embarking on a capital campaign?
A couple of years ago Pastor Thigpen shared his vision for new facilities to Bridge the Gap between the past and the future. We intend to build on the past as we incorporate the history of the church through the renovations of the existing structure, while preparing for the future with the construction of a new sanctuary. While these building plans were in place prior to the pandemic, the need for larger facilities is greater than ever as we seek to return to in-person worship in larger facilities.
