Beyond
THE GOSPEL FOR GENERATIONS TO COME
We are a welcoming home to hundreds of people seeking Jesus Christ and growing in the grace of the gospel.
We are a community of men and women, young and old, single and married, discovering together our purpose and belonging within God’s good design. We impact hundreds of kids and students week in and week out. We are wholly dependent upon God as we make disciples here and abroad. Monthly we celebrate baptisms of those who have made proclamations of faith in Jesus. We seek to be a refuge to the hurting and broken, to be a church where hope is found and care is received. We believe that God is the ultimate healer and restorer. Our desire to see the gospel to the ends of the earth starts locally but spreads internationally. We put a special emphasis on ministry efforts in India and its surrounding nations through support of Mission Voice Network. We work to see churches planted and equipped through Acts29 Network. We generously resource people across the globe for the furtherance of the gospel to the glory of God!
Every day we are joyfully building beyond ourselves and creating a kingdom legacy for generations to come. We must never forget this!
THE PART YOU PLAY
We desire to raise $3.5 million to complete phase one and two of a three part project. This is the most significant building project in the history of our church. It will require more leaders and volunteers. It will require more members of our family to gladly own and embody the vision. It will require faithful prayer and faithful gospel partners. It will require all of us to give financially. Part of your role in this story will be to exercise these God-given gifts in a powerful way. We all have a part, and we are eager to watch the Lord prove Himself faithful again.
We are asking you to consider your part in our ongoing story of living beyond ourselves. How will you contribute to this vision?
$3.5 million is a lofty goal, one that we believe only the Lord can accomplish. We depend on your generosity to resource our ongoing ministry each year. In Beyond, we are asking you to give in addition to your regular tithes and contributions toward this campaign. This next step of our vision is ambitious. We understand the trust and sacrifice that this kind of commitment requires, but we are confident that God, in His goodness, will meet all of our needs and align our hearts more closely with His as we share the gifts He has entrusted to us.

Ways to Give
Beyond Priorities
What is the sequencing, timeline, and cost of the projects?
In the Beyond project, we have three priorities:
The Next Generation: More space for kids and students
Multipurpose Rooms and Offices: Much needed space for multipurpose education and offices for staff and administrative work
New Sanctuary: More room to worship and fellowship together as we grow
All of our projects align with these three priorities
Phase One: We will begin with a combination of expanding and renovating our Fellowship Kids “Birth to Pre-K” classrooms. This new space will offer much needed space for Sunday and especially Wednesday night kids services.
Priority: The Next Generation
Phase 1 Project Cost: $1.1M
Cumulative Beyond Project Total: $1.1M
Phase Two: We will begin our multipurpose education space and offices simultaneous with the expansion and renovation of the Fellowship Kids “Birth to Pre-K” facilities. Once offices are complete, we will enlarge the Pre Teen room by removing the current office hallway walls and some of the current offices. Also during this time we will expand our Building Two coffee area to include a warming area for food prep.
Priority: Multipurpose Rooms and Offices
Phase 2 Project Total: $2.4M
Cumulative Beyond Project Total: $3.5M
Phase Three: Upon completion of Phase 1 and 2 we will begin our new worship facility. Our goal is to begin this project by or before January of 2030.
Priority: New Worship Facility
Phase 3 Project Total: $10M (*Estimated price. No bids have been pursued currently.)
Cumulative Beyond Project Total: $13.5M
What other alternative solutions were considered before we settled on expanding or renovating?
We believe that God called us to reach our community with the gospel. We have seen our community grow significantly over the past 10+ years. With the growth of our community our church has grown significantly as well. We are seeking to address current space limitations while preparing for future growth. We want to be prepared in advance, not beginning to prepare when we no longer have space.
Beyond Construction
What architectural firm are we using?
We are partnering with Abrams Architecture for architectural services.
Who is the construction team?
A team from Precision Builders serves as the general contractor for the project.
