DGFUMC is pleased to announce our one-year capital campaign called Pave it Forward. Our Pave it Forward capital campaign will provide the funding and allow DGFUMC to proceed with the expansion of the North parking lot. In 2005, DGFUMC held an all-church meeting and voted unanimously to purchase the 1045 Grove Street property to expand our North parking lot. This capital campaign will complete this 2005 vision.

Our financial goal is to raise $500,000 in one year in order to complete the parking lot expansion as well as pay off the long-term debt owed on the property. Permeable paver bricks will be used in the north lot expansion, which allow for the most economical way to address the strict drainage requirements dictated by the Village of Downers Grove. Additionally, the bricks provide a long service life and are ecologically friendly. We estimate that each paver brick donated will contribute approximately $65 towards our campaign goal.

Our church vision is to reach and to touch as many lives as possible through worship, fellowship, music, education, and missions. The “Pave it Forward” campaign is just one of many concurrent projects that our church has planned to spread the word and love of Christ.
