What do we need? It is our hope that as you review this publication you will see just how dynamic and strong St. Thomas’ is and why the need to create and renovate space is vital. As you read further and review past, present and future projects we hope you will invest in our future and support us with a generous pledge, an extension of a current pledge or a gift to make our vision a reality.

Building for the Generations Phase I: What We Have Accomplished  Replacement of the 125-year-old church roof  Installation of new lighting and sound system in the church  Upgrades to the Church Road entrance to our property (Spring 2015)  Significant planning and fund-raising for improvements and an addition to the Parish House

Phase I: Unexpected Costs  Repair of extensive deterioration of the stonework of the bell tower and church discovered during the roofing work cost $500,000 over the amount budgeted for the new roof.  Unanticipated state and township requirements have added significant costs to the entrance driveway project.  These extra expenditures have consumed the entire contingency fund built into the budget.

Phase II: Next Steps  Modernize the Parish House, including air conditioning, a fire sprinkler system and new energyefficient windows  Update MacColl Auditorium to make it suitable for wedding and funeral receptions and other outside events, as a projected source of revenue  Add space to the Parish House to accommodate expanded Nursery School activities, parish meetings and church school, as well as a chapel that would work well for the Faith at Five service and smaller weddings and funerals  The currently projected costs for the Parish House addition and renovations now stand about $1 million above what was originally budgeted.

Our Campaign Vision St. Thomas’ will be a vibrant church community where future generations will come to worship God, care for one another, and reach out to others. Just as we have benefited from the hard work and vision of our church ancestors, now is our moment to nurture, tend, and grow—to preserve our legacy and lay the groundwork for future generations to thrive at St. Thomas’ Church.

THE CAMPAIGN PRAYER Almighty God, help us in our worship, caring and growing so that we can serve Thee with a grateful heart in thanks for all you have done for us at St. Thomas’ Church. Amen.

We envision St. Thomas’ further developing as a thriving center in the lives of our community:  Where every child cannot wait to go to the Discovery Hour.  Where every teenager wants to come on the weekends, to form friendships, learn and serve, as well as pursue fun activities geared to their needs.  Where young singles can meet new friends through a vibrant series of programs and will be supported in their careers, life and faith development.  Where young families benefit from the excellent pre-school and family friendly worship, vibrant fellowship, family learning and service opportunities and events.  Where older families experience a powerful support system as they face many personal and family pressures and challenges.  Where senior couples and individuals receive pastoral and spiritual support and enjoy worship, fellowship and service opportunities.  Where members of the community can come for inspiration, education, musical and artistic offerings, events, speakers, and to offer community service.

What We Do  Every week our volunteers and staff touch countless lives through 65 distinct ministries.  We worship, learn and serve as part of our mission to know Jesus and make him known to others.  We provide powerful, relevant messages and vibrant, inspiring music.  Discovery Hour teachers impart faith to our younger members, youth mentors meet with our teenagers, our Sunday Faith Forum boasts scintillating speakers, and hospitality is evident wherever you go. In addition, we recently started a Family Faith Forum.  On weekdays, parents entrust their children aged two to five to what many believe to be the finest Nursery School in the region.  Service is at the heart of our parish. St. Thomas’ contribute enormously to the local community, inner-city Philadelphia, and far beyond.

What we do above all is build community. We create one parish family committed to serving God and helping to make the world brighter for others.

“We want to serve as the village green for our extended community exuding a sense of warmth and beauty and accessibility that invites people from around the region to enjoy our campus and be blessed by its offerings.” —Gus Carey

Dear Friends: Imagine what our community would be like had St. Thomas’ never existed. Think of all the individuals who would never have received words of comfort and guidance from a caring priest, youth leader, Stephen Minister, nursery school or Discovery Hour teacher. Think of all the Christmas and Easter services, Sunday worship, baptisms, confirmations, weddings and funerals that would never have been held. Consider all the children and teenagers whose values and character would not have been shaped by our church, Discovery Hour and nursery school. Imagine if there were no tranquil campus, stunning sanctuary, teaching, preaching, music, worship, sacraments, labyrinth, carillon concerts, Second Saturday Sales, community and outreach to others. St. Thomas’ does exist, however, and has been serving our communities for more than three centuries. It now provides 65 ministries and, during these past 317 years, has touched countless lives locally, nationally and now internationally. Our forebears erected a log cabin church in 1698 that has blossomed into a landmark congregation – Montgomery County’s oldest church – and one of the most vital Episcopal churches in the United States. It is one of the ten strongest Colonial churches in the country. Many times in our history, St. Thomas’ parishioners have risen to meet severe, even crippling, challenges. Meeting these crises successfully has called for great vision, bold planning, and firm dedication. We have never failed to prevail. In 2012 we faced perhaps our greatest challenge, that of building for the generations to come. To meet it, we have used parishioner input to craft a bold Master Plan. Our leaders worked hard to create a vision for a sustainable future. This plan allows us to build endowment, preserve buildings, beautify our campus and downsize what we have to maintain to ensure great ministry for years to come. Together, we reached and exceeded the Phase I Goals , which ensures that St. Thomas’ remains a beacon of hope throughout the Whitemarsh Valley and surrounding region as we touch and transform countless lives. In Phase II we address needs previously unknown and a few new plans whose time has come! St. Thomas’ is a place that makes all We hope that you will continue to make God and of us proud to be Episcopalian. It has your church the top priority in your life and give withstood the test of time. For more generously to this bold endeavor, either for the than three centuries our church has first time or in a second offering pledge or gift. enriched our community. The time has come for us to ensure that it will bless With every blessing, be here to bless future generations.

Dear fellow members of St. Thomas’ Church, Five years ago, the exterior of 122 year old Church Hill Hall was in very bad condition and something had to be done before the building suffered structural damage. The Vestry authorized a small capital campaign to finance the repairs and today Church Hill Hall is in excellent shape and will hopefully serve us well for another 122 years. You supported and funded this and we thank you heartily! The Vestry realized that other buildings had maintenance needs, and an overall Campus Master Plan had not been done since the 1990’s. The Vestry asked for a review of buildings and grounds and development of Master Plans for the campus. The Landscape Commission and Building Commission took the lead and worked from 20102012 to develop the Landscape and Building Master Plan. The plan covers landscape, parking and traffic patterns, building maintenance needs and potential improvements to better support worship and programs. Please join us in completing the Building for the Generations campaign!

The members of the Vestry viewed a presentation of the Master Plan and were enthusiastic that it addressed funding the substantial deferred and current maintenance needs. The members of the Vestry became committed to taking steps to raise the necessary funds and directed the staff to begin planning for a Campaign in the latter part of 2012. They recognize that there are choices to be made within the Master Plan and sought guidance from the report of the Parish Readiness Assessment for a Capital Campaign.

In 2012, I informed parishioners that each year we designate money in the operating budget for repairs and upkeep, but it is less than $20,000 a year for nine buildings, a mile of paving and 48 acres of land (which is larger than the Philadelphia Zoo). That means each year we defer many repair and upkeep needs. I shared that several major building expenses were looming. Primary among those included the following: The Church roof – the main part of the roof was the original dating from when the Church was built and is over 125 years old. The Parish House heating system – the piping and radiator system has a 50-year design life and is now 55 years old. A breakdown in the piping system would be a major headache. I am very happy to report that the Church roof has been replaced, and I invite you to read in this brochure about the needs that Phase II will be supplementing. Best Regards,

Pem Hutchinson, Campaign Chairman and Vestry member 7

PHASE I Accomplishments 2012-2014 Total Funding Goal: Our original campaign goal for Capital Projects Phase I was $6,250,000 and our Goal for Endowment giving was $12,250,000 (over 15 years). We have now received pledges for $6,601,982 for capital and $753,500 for endowment as well as $100,000 for the capital needs of the cemetery.

Annual Financial Support: The vestry and the Stewardship Commission, along with the Capital Campaign Committee and the Rector, made a concerted effort to explain to the parish the detailed cost of sustaining the ministries of the church and the physical plant. In 2012 the average pledge for operating support was $2,718. This was not the level needed to support the healthy functioning of the church. The parish responded and in 2013, annual stewardship rose to $3,405, an increase of 25%. The key is and was to emphasize giving to St. Thomas’ as the top priority in one’s charitable giving goals.

Deferred Maintenance: Original preliminary studies indicated that we had $2 million in deferred maintenance on the entire property. As we tackled projects we discovered some estimates to be high but most to be significantly lower than anticipated. Much of this could not be known until slates were removed from roofs so substructures could be studied or cranes were raised to examine stonework. Therefore, in some cases, we found ourselves with larger projects than anticipated. Church Roof and Stonework: The cost to replace the slate roof and to repair and re-point one side of the bell tower stonework, which was in danger of stone falling onto the roof, as well as repairing carillon window inserts, was just over $1 million. Some adjacent roofs were redone as they were structurally poor and would have caused problems inside the church and Haas Hall. Church Sound System: The second project that was deferred was the church’s sound system. This was replaced under budget and is now quite good for the spoken word as well as musical or performance needs. Church Interior Painting: The third deferred project in the church was painting. This was recently completed in line with the church’s new lighting and is a warm beige. Barn and Haas Cottage: These areas have been or will be repaired and upgraded so that the Minister to Youth and Children and his family can live safely in the cottage and those participating in Second Saturday Sales (our major source of outreach support) can shop in the barn and its environs in comfort and safety. 9

Capital Improvements Relighting the Church: Our old church lighting produced a dark and dreary setting. In 2014 we completed new lighting, within our $300,000 budget. Along with the new paint color, we now have a warm, vibrant lighting set-up, adjustable for numerous purposes. People can see the service at the altar, they can read their programs and they can see one another. This raises our spirits. Our church attendance has risen 39% since this work was completed and we believe that some credit must go to this effort.

After the relighting.

Church Road Entrance Project: This project has been envisioned for numerous reasons.  It re-aligns the driveway 35’ up Church Road, making visibility much better for all.  It is currently a one lane drive, causing bottlenecks and near accidents regularly.  It is not a proper entrance with signage, lighting and a welcoming feel but rather an old drive with an old mailbox and an unattractive feel. The new entrance will project a message of welcome, safety and aesthetic quality. It will be two lanes, with lighting. The Church Hill Hall parking lot area and the area around Toad Hall (the toy cottage) will be improved as well. This project has increased in cost due to storm water management, re-forestation (when trees are removed), lighting, etc. A $100,000 matching gift has been made and offerings toward this match are being gratefully accepted. A spring 2015 completion is expected.

Phase II Projects and Costs: Phase I Construction Project: The Emily Norris Carey Learning Center is envisioned as a wonderful new wing of the Parish House and will provide two levels of learning and worship space (see exterior drawings on the front of the brochure-new spaces are in lighter shades). An elevator will allow access to both levels. The lower level will provide classrooms for Nursery School expansion as well as Discovery Hour use. On the upper level, adult gathering spaces as well as a performing arts/worship space (via a new chapel) will be included for smaller services, concerts and activities. We have expanded programs since the inception of the capital campaign creating a successful new Faith at Five service, which would ideally be located in the new chapel. This space, along with the renovated MacColl auditorium could host smaller weddings and funerals. It would also be ideal for our nursery school chapel, which now occurs weekly on our stage. The new addition would also be perfect for our new Family Faith Forum on Sunday mornings, allowing parents to be near their young children as they attend Discovery Hour. The original financial goal for this wing has been reached. This achievement is a testament to the generosity of our parish. We would be very close to starting construction. We have one major hurdle to jump—increased project scope and cost. Despite this we feel this is achievable and that construction could begin as soon as August 2015 if funds were pledged or given. Please read the next section carefully to understand what is needed and how you can help. We have developed the Parish House project to a point where a solid budget could be assembled by our construction manager. That budget has revealed that the costs assigned to this project in the 20082009 time period did not anticipate the manner in which the project has developed. The contingency that might have offset construction cost escalation has been exhausted by the church roof project. While the size of the building remains the same, the cost of building that space is now greater. All reasonable means have been explored to use efficient, yet not extravagant materials. Space and energy efficiency have been stressed, but in the end, the new construction budget falls short by $800,000 and $300,000 for the existing auditorium, of providing what has been evaluated as needed space after extensive review with the clergy and the other groups using the facility. With these facts firmly in our mind, and a determination to build and renovate for what we need without scaling back to a point where a small and ineffective version exists, we have, as a parish team, developed the plans for the Parish House and the Emily Norris Carey Learning Center. The next pages will show you plans and renderings of what is envisioned. 12

With the Carey Learning Center, program space will be added that will allow the Church to better serve the congregation and the community, including:  A multi-purpose Chapel: for Faith at Five and smaller weddings, funerals and concerts. The new chapel would allow us to accommodate all of our students, their teachers and parents for a weekly Nursery School chapel service.  Nursery School classrooms that will accommodate the latest curriculum, as well as additional students and the resulting increased tuition income.  Creating a facility that could be used by the community for events that would generate additional income for the church.

Emily Norris Carey Learning Center Funding Needs:  Cost escalation since 2010—$500,000  Landscaping of new addition—$100,000  Finishes, Furnishing and S.T.E.A.M. room equipment—$200,00 Total: $800,000

Parish House Design and remodeling highlights include:  Replacement of all the leaky, inefficient windows  Facelift for the nursery school classrooms  Installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout  Air conditioning the entire building (existing and new) will permit some extended day and early drop off classes to be used year-round, significantly increasing annual operating revenue from the Nursery School. We see the need for extended day and early drop off as more and more couples in our area are both working outside the home. We would have the capacity to double our Nursery School enrollment, if we desired. Our main goal is to assure excellence and strong continued growth and service. We would like to make further renovations to MacColl Auditorium to make it much more aesthetically pleasing and more suitable for hosting wedding and funeral receptions and outside events as a source on annual revenue. We project raising as much as $50,000 in additional annual revenue from leasing our facilities.

Our Crumbling Walls – A Phase II Priority for the Church Building The condition of the stone in the church walls and bell tower continues to deteriorate. A number of factors have contributed to this problem:  A waterproof coating applied in 1992 traps moisture  Parging, a coating applied to the inside of the walls, causes moisture to be trapped between it and the exterior waterproofing, stressing the stone  Normal winter freeze/thaw cycles and salting of sidewalks Cost of repairs for church: $850,000 Cost of repairs to tower: $600,000 Total cost of masonry repairs: $1.45 million

Building and Growing Our Endowments Building and Hardscape Preservation Fund - $2,000,000 Our church buildings have no designated endowment. Each year we accrue approximately $100,000 of deferred maintenance. The Vestry’s vision is to build a $2 million endowment for building preservation to ensure that as things break or wear down or require painting, electrical repairs and other maintenance that we can fix them quickly and efficiently rather than allowing problems to expand and become far more costly. This endowment would yield approximately $80,000 to address maintaining our nine separate buildings each year and end the cycle of conducting a major capital campaign every decade to handle significant deferred maintenance. Worship and Music Fund - $2,000,000 Worship is at the center of our life at St. Thomas’ Church. It is the reason that brings us all to church. Offering outstanding preaching, liturgy and music is vital to each of our lives. The most expensive part of this is offering music. In 2011, we spent $192,000 on our music program. Through careful steps, we were able to reduce our music costs by over $50,000 in 2012. We want, however, to ensure that we can offer fine worship for generations to come. We hope to increase our Worship and Music Endowment from $145,000 to $2 million. This would generate approximately $80,000 for annual income, take pressure off our annual operating budget, and potentially draw more people to St. Thomas’. Our worship is a means of attracting members to St. Thomas’ and a crucial means of influencing sustained membership and life-altering experience. Children and Youth Fund - $2,000,000 The future of our church lies with attracting and nurturing young families, children and youth. We want St. Thomas to be the place where every family in the area has the opportunity to grow happy, involved and supported children of all ages. Offering a great youth ministry is a costly endeavor. Experts in Youth Ministry tell churches to budget $1,000 annually for each teenager that the church wants to be active in Youth Ministry. We hope to increase our Endowment for Children and Youth from $61,000 to $1 million. This would yield $40,000 for our annual operating budget and ensure that we can have a Youth Minister on our staff for generations to come. 18

Clergy Staffing Fund - $1,000,000 The one thing that we will always need at St. Thomas is outstanding clergy if we are to continue our mission and carry out our ministries. The Vestry would like to create an endowment to ensure that the church can always provide clergy to lead our church and provide strong pastoral care for our members, excellent worship and teaching. We hope to create a $1 million endowment that will yield $40,000 annually for our operating budget and supplement our annual giving.

Outreach Fund - $1,000,000 Servant ministry and outreach are at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. We begin with worship, grow in learning and this naturally leads us to caring for those in need. Together we live out our Baptismal Covenant and strive to serve Christ in all persons as we reach out to the suffering whether geographically close or far away. We want to increase our Outreach Endowment from $59,000 to $1 million. This will yield $40,000 to allocate in Outreach gifts each year.

Landscape Preservation Fund - $2,000,000 It can cost up to $3,000 to remove a dead, diseased or dying tree from our campus. Our Landscape Commission has adopted a policy of replacing every tree removed from our property with two new trees. In addition, we hope to conduct beautification projects on our campus, such as a the recent enhancement of the corner of our property where Bethlehem Pike and Church Road intersect. A Landscape Preservation Fund could also help to underwrite the cost of a part-time gardener to help care for the perimeter of our property, which is most visible and also easily neglected. It could help underwrite the cost of our grounds crew, which has dwindled from four full-time to one full-time and two part-time employees during the past thirteen years. We hope to build a $2,000,000 endowment that will yield $80,000 annually. 19

Adult Spiritual Formation Fund - $750,000 St. Thomas’ Church has a national reputation for attracting great guest speakers and preachers and offering one of the finest adult spiritual formation programs in the Episcopal Church. Our creation of The Bible Challenge has attracted much national and even international attention and is now being shared with other Episcopalians and Anglicans in over 1,000 churches in 14 different countries. We would like to increase our endowment for Adult Spiritual Formation from $72,000 to $750,000, which would yield $30,000 annually for our budget.

Carillon Program and Maintenance Fund - $500,000 We have one of only about sixty full carillons attached to any church in the United States. It takes at least twenty-four bells to be a carillon. St. Thomas is blessed to have forty-eight bells, which weigh several tons and reside in our tower. They can be heard not only before, during and after worship, but their peals can be heard throughout the Whitemarsh Valley. We hope to create a $500,000 endowment for the carillon to ensure that the bells can be heard for generations to come and that a summer concert series can continue. This endowment would yield $20,000 per year.

Nursery School Fund - $1,000,000 Most schools have an endowment,. We just started one. We believe that we must now take an important step forward and create a St. Thomas’ Nursery School Endowment to ensure the longterm health and well-being of our Nursery School, which is considered the finest nursery school in the region. Our school recently celebrated sixty years of wonderful ministry. We hope to endow and ensure its successful future for decades to come. It is one of the strongest attractions to St. Thomas’ Church. This endowment would yield $40,000 a year.

20

Land Conservation - $3,000,000 St. Thomas’ Church members have a strong calling to land conservation. Many of our members over the years have been active in land conservation programs, have left part or all of their estate to be conserved and have helped to found and support organizations such as the Nature Conservancy and the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association. We believe that we have the capacity to raise $3 million to create an easement and not develop this land. If parishioners and/or friends of our parish are willing to contribute this sum of money, the Vestry is prepared not to sell or develop this land. The money that is raised would then be added to our Endowment to ensure that we are able to preserve our buildings and grounds and no longer accrue large amounts of annual deferred maintenance.

21

Will you invest in a bold future? Parishioner and supporter engagement has enabled St. Thomas’ to become what we are today. And in order to continue to build for greater worship, learning and service, we need your financial support.

Capital and Endowment Funding Capital giving takes place in response to significant need and, therefore, occurs only when absolutely necessary.  It is over and above annual giving.  It invests in permanent properties and in endowments which aid in sustaining the financial health of St. Thomas’ in difficult financial times.  It covers larger amounts than annual budgets can.  It allows payments to be spread over a longer period of time.  It often involves the giving of real estate, securities, or other tangible assets.

Your capital and endowment pledges are crucial in allowing St. Thomas’ to address immediate needs and make significant improvements to our facilities that will sustain us as we move into the future.

Make your commitment... Complete your annual pledge card.  If you are already pledging on an annual basis, commit to an increase to help us overcome our annual shortfall and fulfill the funding needs of our worship, learning and service.  If you have never made a pledge before, plan to give a manageable amount on a regular schedule.

Complete your capital and endowment pledge card.  Give generously in addition to your annual pledge. Payments may be spread over an extended period of time of up to five years. Just select a giving plan that is convenient for you.  Consider making a non-cash pledge such as securities, qualified IRA or other tangible assets.

Thank you for your inspiration, engagement and investment in the future of St. Thomas’.
