From deep roots, new life

Bishop Rob Hirschfeld

We are thrilled to announce on behalf of the NH Diocese that this week kicks off the public phase of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire's capital campaign—From Deep Roots, New Life. Thanks to the generosity of many churches and individuals during the silent phase of the campaign, the Diocese has already raised $1.8 million toward our $2 million goal. With our continued support, that goal will be reached in June.

Starting with Bishop Rob's message and continuing for the next five Fridays, we will distribute six short videos, all of which feature a firsthand testimonial explaining the impact of one of our five funding priorities: The School for Ministry, the Bishop’s Curates Fund, the Ministerial Development Fund, the Gospel-Oriented Communities Fund, and the Coaching Fund.

The videos demonstrate that the initiatives supported by From Deep Roots, New Life are already making a big difference in our church communities.

For more information on this Capital Campaign, you can visit the campaign website where you’ll find the public phase brochure, a detailed list of frequently asked questions, who to contact, and more. (Physical copies of this brochure are available at St. John's.)

This campaign is focused on investing in people, not buildings. From Deep Roots, New Life allows the Episcopal Diocese of NH to create a lasting endowment to train, place, and support the lay and ordained leaders in our churches—all our churches, both big and small.
