BUSINESS NEWSLETTER

PRAISE IS EXPANDING

  • MORE ROOM.

    When our church reaches its physical capacity, we face a pivotal choice. Will we shut our doors to the community, or will we boldly stretch our limits and sacrifice for those who have yet to join us?

  • MORE PEOPLE.

    The only treasures we take into eternity are the souls we touch. Embracing those without a home in our community is one of the greatest privileges we hold.

  • MORE TESTIMONY.

    Increasing our numbers isn't the ultimate measure of success for our church; it's the profound interactions those individuals have with the Father. Each new person brings with them the potential for a life-changing encounter with God, creating testimonies that inspire and uplift us all.

BUILDING UPDATES

  • As God continues to grow our church family, we’re taking faithful steps to prepare for what He has ahead. Demolition of our future sanctuary has been completed, a new roof is in place, and construction is now underway as the project continues to move forward.

    This expansion is about far more than adding square footage. It’s about creating space for more people to hear the Gospel, encounter Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and grow as disciples. We’re thankful for God’s faithfulness and the generosity of our church family as we continue moving toward the vision He has given us.

  • Another section of our children’s wing mural has been completed! Artist Tessa Duran continues to bring the hallway to life with a beautiful illustration inspired by Ezekiel 47, creating a welcoming environment that reflects God’s truth and sparks meaningful conversations with children and families.

    We’re excited to see this space continue to take shape as we create environments that help the next generation know, love, and follow Jesus.
