  • Will the church take on debt to complete this project?

    The church approved by corporate vote to access up to $5 million in loans to execute the project. The goal of the church leadership is to raise the necessary funds to execute the project without having to access additional loans.

    The areas and people of the church who will be affected by PHASE TWO are the Worship Center, Student Ministry, Adult Bible Fellowship, and Office Spaces. 

  • What can I do to help with the execution of the Master Plan?

    We would ask that you pray for God to use this Plan to bring people into his Kingdom and disciple those who walk onto our campus. Pray that God would show you where you can be generous to help with the execution of the Plan. Prayerfully consider what a meaningful three-year pledge could be for your family. Every gift matters and helps.
