Building Renovation Journey
Join us on the journey of raising funds to complete the building renovation for our church and school in Brooklyn, NY. God provided the funds for our building purchase in 2003. Phase 1 was the build out of 4 classrooms on the top floor for Followers of Jesus School in 2018. Phase 2 was completed the summer of 2026 with new bathrooms and an additional classroom on the Elementary level. We anticipate needing $800,000 - $1,000,000 more to complete the project and have our building fully ADA compliant. We trust that God will provide the funds to bring this work to a completion. Please pray with us towards that end. If you would like to learn more about how to partner with us, please contact James Gochnauer at [email protected]. You can donate by sending a check to FJMC, 3065 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11208 with a designation for the Building Fund or electronically through Zelle ([email protected]). |
