PRAISE THE LORD!! We are in awe of how God has led us on this journey to BUILD more room for God! We know he will continue to lead us as we follow HIM, and we look forward to completing the journey. 2023 is hoped to be the final year of new construction at Central Campus - just in time for renewed growth, as families are coming to church in greater numbers since the pandemic.
If all goes according to our timelines – we will start to see some ministries moving into the new spaces this September and October! Please be praying that God’s hand would be in our timelines and that we would enter a season of preparation with anticipation, excitement and generosity.
Part of this season of preparation requires a step of faith it will require all of us to give of our time, talents and finances so we can be ready for new faces and opportunities to introduce people to Jesus. Please prayerfully seek Him about where He might have you serve as we need more volunteers to respond to increased numbers of youth, children and people in need.
We still have a way to go to reach our BUILD financial goal, which is described here. Whether you’ve been attending for many years or whether you’ve recently joined us, please prayerfully seek the Lord’s guidance about what you can give to BUILD. Here!

As of January 2023 we have given $4.1M (41.9%) towards our goal of $9.8M; the remaining amount to be raised towards our goal is $5.7M. We are grateful for what the Lord has supplied. We still have a way to go to reach our goal. Thank you for continuing to pray and persevere with us in our journey to “complete the work,” physically, spiritually, and financially, in the spirit of 2 Corinthians 8:11.
