Over the past two years we have been planning on doing some renovations because of our growing church. It is our desire to fulfill Jesus’ promise in John 14:12, “I tell you the truth, whoever believes in me will do the same things that I do. Those who believe will do even greater things than these.”
Our renovation and construction project is not simply a push for money – it’s not just a “fundraising focus”. It’s a call for a deeper commitment to walking in the ways of Jesus; to contemplate and respond to the question, “Lord, what would You have me do?”. It’s a life management focus for us as individuals and as a church family. It’s an opportunity for greater faith, greater investment, greater commitment, greater sacrifice, greater vision and greater impact.
Our congregation launched a 20/20 vision to achieve greaterthings. There has been preliminary conversation with architectural professionals. We are working on a timeline that will move promptly and keep communication flowing by keeping the ministry, the project and the need before the church family.

Our greaterthings project is a prayerful and sensitive response to the following questions:
- How do we welcome and handle our mission?
- How do we provide friendly space that is needed to accommodate ministry growth?
- How do we nurture existing programs and respond to new ones that will emerge?
Please be prayerful that as a church family we will advance successfully to achieve our ministry vision.
