Leave a Legacy

In July 2024, The Church Project launched the Legacy Campaign, a fundraiser for future restoration phases of the Main Stage Theater and vaulted ceiling. 
The purpose of the Legacy Campaign is to bring together families, friends, and Monte Vista residents to support the transformation of this historic building into a Community Art Center. 
The 100-year-old oak pews will remain in the theater space as seating for productions, concerts, poetry slams, karaoke, and more. Two Legacy sponsorship levels are assigned to the size of the pews in the space. 
 
A $1,500 Legacy gift will sponsor a small pew toward the back rows. 
 
A $3,000 Legacy gift will sponsor a large pew toward the front of the stage. 
 
With each Legacy, the donor(s) will have the opportunity to dedicate in the form of a brass plaque which will be mounted to the sponsored pew. Dedications will be limited to 20 words. 
 
Example; 
“In loving memory of
Joan Florstedt Roantree
James Elliott Roantree, Jr.
Barbara Connor Ahlborn
Lee Ahlborn,
From their families” 
 
If you and your family would like to learn more about the Legacy Campaign, please contact Madeleine Ahlborn, 804-761-4546 or info.churchproject@gmail.com
 
With respect and gratitude,
