Frequently Asked Questions
What is ABOVE + BEYOND?
ABOVE + BEYOND is a generosity movement to pave the way for the future of questCHURCH and for generations to come. It is a season of giving to expand our building and campus to serve as place for the communities of Middletown and beyond to experience the love of God through our church. For more information, check out our guidebook.
How do I give to ABOVE + BEYOND?
You can give by selecting ‘ABOVE + BEYOND’ on our online giving portal, or by writing “ABOVE + BEYOND” on the envelope at church when you give a check.
What does the timeline of the project look like?
Our goal is to see the project completed in 3-5 years (2027 - 2030). We will move forward based on God’s grace and your generosity.
What is the total cost?
The total cost is estimated at $4 million. We can begin the project when we reach a total of $1.7 million raised. This total cost will fluctuate due to the nature of construction.
What kind of commitment are you looking for?
We’re simply asking you to ask God what He wants you to give financially, then simply obey Him. Though God is our source, He uses people, each of us, to accomplish His will and work. He does this because He has invited us to partner with Him to reach others and to grow our faith at the same time. We promise you this: We will not pressure anyone to give (2 Corinthians 9:7 and we won’t sell anything (1 Chronicles 21:24). We will share the vision of what we can accomplish together and ask everyone to give sacrificially.
What's important for me to know?
There are two financial ways each of us can strengthen the church and move this project forward - one is “Keep up the good work” and the other is to “Expand the good work.”
Keep up the good work - This refers to your consistent giving, often called a “tithe”, that sustains the ministry of questCHURCH. When you give consistently and regularly it fortifies the financial position of our church allowing for ministry to continue and flourish.
Expand the good work - This refers to your offerings or sacrificial donations that are given to the Above + Beyond building project. These financial donations are gifts you give above and beyond your tithe that gives you the opportunity to partner with God to expand what He is doing here at questCHURCH.

Is the church going to stay open during construction?
Yes! questCHURCH will remain open throughout the duration of the project.
If I cannot give financially at this time, is there any other way I can help?
As construction begins there will be opportunities to serve. We will communicate these with you as they arise with links for you to sign up. Another way to help is to pray. Prayer is the biggest way you can serve! Pray continuously over our church, the staff, the Dream Team, and the Above + Beyond project.
How will my donations be used?
All donations will be placed in our interest-bearing account with the Wesley Investment Foundation. As the dollar amount grows your donations will be used to pay cash for construction projects where we can and accumulate until we raise the $1.7 million as a down payment to acquire a loan to complete the project.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes! questCHURCH is recognized by the IRS as a public charity, so contributions are tax deductible. Annual Contribution Statements will be available electronically by the end of January each year. Please use this for documentation of your donations.
Can I donate stock?
Yes! In order for us to give you proper credit for your contribution, please notify us the number of shares and the name(s) of the stock(s) you are transferring. Your gift will be acknowledged on your Annual Giving Statement. Emails may be sent to info@myquestchurch.com
