It’s now been 10 years since fire devastated Aurora United Church in Aurora’s downtown core.
The world has changed significantly in the decade since – including a pandemic and rising costs all around – and, due to these factors, the Church (AUC) needs a helping hand to quite literally rise from the ashes.
The “Rise from the Ashes Capital Campaign” is a $5 million drive to help offset the cost of the rebuild.
“This campaign marks a significant step forward in the journey to rebuild the church both in structure and in spirit,” the AUC said last week. “Aurora United Church aims to raise $5 million through the Rising from the Ashes campaign to support the existing funding of the construction of a new, resilient, and welcoming church building.”
