Our church building is more than just bricks and mortar—it’s a place of worship, fellowship, prayer, and community. As we continue to grow and serve, we face important financial needs related to the maintenance, improvement, and stewardship of our sacred space.

We humbly ask for your support in helping us meet these needs. Whether it’s repairing structural issues, upgrading our facilities, or preparing for future growth, every gift—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference.

Financial needs

  • $8,500 – Stucco Restoration for the North Side of the Country Chapel
    The north side of our historic chapel is in urgent need of stucco work. As an older building, it is currently not properly sealed, leaving it vulnerable to weather damage. This restoration will help preserve the structure and protect it for years to come.

  • $15,000 – Electrical Installation for St. Basil’s Community Kitchen & Church Trapeza
    We are working to equip the basement of our Monett church building with the necessary electrical infrastructure to bring St. Basil’s Community Kitchen and Church Trapeza to life. This space will serve as a vital center for fellowship, hospitality, and outreach—but it cannot function without proper electrification. Your support will help power both the kitchen and the ministry it will serve.

  • $5,000 – Lighting for St. Basil’s Kitchen and Dining Area
    To create a warm, functional, and welcoming environment in St. Basil’s Community Kitchen and dining area, we need proper lighting installed. This will ensure the space is well-lit for cooking, fellowship, and shared meals. Your support will help us make this space fully usable and inviting for all who gather there.

  • $2,000 – Steel for the Ceiling of St. Basil’s Kitchen
    To complete the ceiling of St. Basil’s Kitchen, we are in need of steel materials. A financial contribution toward this need—or a direct donation of the appropriate steel—would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in donating materials, please speak with our treasurer for details on the specific type and color required.

  • $1,500 – Stucco and Lime for Wall Repairs in St. Basil’s Community Kitchen
    The interior walls of St. Basil’s Community Kitchen require repairs using stucco and lime to restore and preserve the space. Your support will help create a clean, safe, and durable environment where meals and fellowship can take place for years to come.
