Building Project Updates

April 2025 Update

March was an active month for our building project! We completed the purchase of a strip of land that allows us to expand our existing parking lot an additional 65 parking spaces. Our site plans have been submitted to the city’s planning & zoning committee for their April meeting. We have also been connecting with contractors about site preparation and concrete bids for the parking lot. Lastly, our final construction drawings by Rains Architecture are being completed so that we can get a pricing update from Septagon Construction, which we expect to receive this month. As a result, we plan to put more updates on the building webpage to include renderings of the building and other details as they become available.

Estimated project cost: $4.8 million

Ways to Give

Check

Checks can be made out to Federated Fellowship Church. Please include “Building Project” in the memo line.

Subsplash Online Giving

If utilizing the online giving option, please select the Building Fund in the drop-down menu.  

Donate through stocks & mutual funds or RMD's

  • Stock and Mutual Funds: If securities have been held for more than one year and are gifted directly to Federated Fellowship, the donor receives a tax deduction equal to the appreciated value of the security and the unrealized capital gain is not taxable.   
  • RMDs: If you are over age 70.5 and are taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), you can request that it be sent directly to Federated as a gift. 

Grain

There is a tax benefit in gifting grain when grain is requested to be transferred directly to Federated at the time it is delivered to the elevator or if it is in storage. The tax benefit is from not recognizing income on the sale of the grain. 
Please notify the church of gifts designated for the building project.

With all giving methods, please consult your tax and/or legal advisor for advice about your individual situation.
