Special Projects
Hartland is on the move, and exciting new projects are in store for the near future!
But we need your help. Hartland is focusing on micro-projects to help improve our campus and our overall guest experience.
Would you prayerfully consider joining with others to support one or more of these exciting new projects? We look forward to blessing our guests with some thrilling new upgrades when they visit Hartland in the coming months.
100% of your donation will be dedicated to the projects below. All funds donated over and above the current project will be moved to the next project in line.
Working together, we can accomplish far more than on our own.
This year, generous donors like you have donated over $15,000 towards these 2024 ongoing projects!
