Fund Your Next Project
God's Work through Your Hands

In 2021, LCR celebrated our 50th Anniversary with a Jubilee Celebration and capital campaign that allowed us successfully pay off our mortgage. Now, our members have chosen to devote the money that used to be set aside for mortgage payments to fund not only our own ministries, but also other faith-building or life-giving endeavors.

Our Hopes and Dreams Committee reviews project proposals and allocates funds. If members, community members, or nonprofit leaders have ideas for projects exceeding $2,500, we invite you to review our guidelines and submit an application.
