🎉
The mortgage is paid. Every. Single. Dollar.
February 15, 2026 — 7½ months ahead of schedule
What our community believed together, God accomplished together. Thank you Pakenham Baptist Church.
Launched in October 2025 with a 12-month goal — finished in just 4½ months. Here's the story by the numbers.
Every great achievement has a story.
Every pledge, every prayer, every Sunday — it all mattered.
"The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender."
Proverbs 22:7 (ESV)
— but for us, no longer. 🙌
"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:20–21 (ESV)
To every person who prayed, who pledged, who gave their first-fruits or their last dollar — thank you. What was accomplished on February 15, 2026 is not just a financial milestone. It is a testament to the generous, faith-filled character of the Pakenham Baptist Church community.
When this campaign was announced in October 2025, some may have wondered whether clearing over $124,000 of mortgage debt in 12 months was truly possible. Today we can say with certainty: not only was it possible — it happened in half the time, through your faithfulness.
This building is now fully yours — a mortgage-free home for worship, community, discipleship, and mission. May it serve the kingdom of God for generations to come, and may every gathering within its walls carry the memory of what faithful, sacrificial giving can accomplish when a community unites around a shared vision.
To God be all the glory.
