FAQs


For the One is our church family stepping forward to build room for the people God is still bringing to us. It isn't a building project first, it's a people project. We say it this way: we're not building a room for ourselves, we're building room for the one, the neighbor, coworker, or family member who hasn't walked in yet. Every empty chair stands for a real person and a real prayer.

Your one is a real person you're praying will come to know Jesus and find a home here: a friend, a family member, a coworker, a neighbor. The whole vision comes down to this, every chair a name, every name a prayer. We're asking every person to choose their one and pray for them by name.

Because we're out of room. We now hold three Sunday services just to seat everyone who comes, and we're near the limit of what our current space and volunteers can carry well. This isn't a guess about the future, it's a response to what God is already doing. We'd rather make room for the people He keeps sending than watch them slip out the back.

A new auditorium that seats about 750, along with an expanded lobby and welcome space with a coffee bar, offices and meeting rooms, kids check-in, and a covered drop-off. We plan to keep gathering in two services, so there's room to attend one and serve one, with room to keep growing.

We already run three services, and we're at the edge of what our current room, kids space, parking, and volunteer teams can sustain. A fourth service wouldn't fix the lobby, the children's areas, or the parking, and it would stretch the people who serve even thinner. Building gives us room to breathe and room to welcome well.

No. People are already coming, three services' worth. We're not dreaming about a crowd that might show up someday, we're responding to real growth and taking responsibility to care for the ones God is sending right now.

Our three-year Great Faith goal is $6 million. We call it a Great Faith goal on purpose, it's bigger than what we could do on our own, and it's sized for our whole church family, not a handful of people. Everyone has a part. Some will give large gifts, most will give steadily over three years, and together we believe God will provide what's needed.

That depends on what God provides through this season, and we won't set a date we can't keep. As the plans firm up, we'll keep the church updated every step of the way.

Not yet. What you see now is preliminary and still being refined, and we'll share updates as the plans develop.

Our heart is to fund this by faith. Our elders are prayerfully weighing any financing and will be straight with the church about the path we take. We want to move in faith and with wisdom, not presumption.

There are three easy ways:

Online. Make a gift anytime through our website using our giving link. Quick, secure, and you can give as often as you like.

Recurring, through our website. Set up an automatic weekly or monthly gift and let it run for the length of your commitment. This is the simplest way to give faithfully over the three years without having to remember, and you can start it this Sunday.

In person. Give during any weekend service, just mark your gift or envelope "For the One."
