Questions & answers
Clear answers about the vision, campaign leadership, pledging, and the partners helping bring the plan to life.
Vision 2024 is a $10 million effort to upgrade and preserve our campus, address repairs, and create safe, inclusive spaces for ministry and community partnerships. Campaign gifts are made above regular tithes and offerings.
The campaign is led by co-chairs David and Tracey Huntley, Dr. Frederick and Linda Todd, Dr. Delanor Doyle, Vicki D. Blanton, Esq., Pastor Butler, and Generosity Chair Dennis Coleman.
Participation demonstrates unity and strong internal support for the vision. That shared commitment is also compelling to foundations, community partners, and other outside funders.
An independent Halo Effect study measured St. Luke’s annual economic and community impact at $5,744,888 through direct spending, individual impact, the magnet effect, an invisible safety net, and open space.

The architect is Charyl McAfee-Duncan, FAIA, of McAfee3 Architects. The African American, female-owned firm was founded in 1963 by Charles F. McAfee and transitioned to his daughters, Charyl and Cheryl, in 2006.
