Our Church Needs a New Roof



This capital campaign is to raise the funds to replace the roof as well as to repair related structural elements of our building. This is a bold and necessary action. Our church leadership has chosen this course rather than continuing to spend money on patching areas of the roof as leaks occur. In the long run it will be more cost effective to address the systemic cause of the leaks. The congregation will need to raise about $40,000 to do the necessary replacement and repairs. 

We’re asking you to pledge your financial support to this campaign, remembering how important Sligo Presbyterian Church is to us and our broader community. Under this roof, we have the chance to express our love for God, to serve others and to build a nurturing and supportive community. 

If you want to make a donation, please send your check to the church (Sligo Presbyterian Church, PO Box 310, Sligo, PA  16255) with "roof" in the memo section. You may also use the pink building fund envelops available at the church. If you want to make a pledge, feel free to call the church office, 814-745-2771, or send an email to sligoc@windstream.net. Currently an anonymous donor has promised to match all moneys raised in the next few weeks, up to $15,000.

Together, let's make the roof as sound as the people gathered beneath.
