GOD’S CALL TO REACH FURTHER

Reach
We want our church building to be an extension of our outward focus, an architectural statement of the grace and hospitality that we wish to embrace and offer in Christ.
Restore
The Lord is in the restoration business, and we want the space in which we gather and into which we invite others to convey that God is at work in new ways.
Connect
A core component in following Christ is the rhythm of going out in mission and gathering in worship and fellowship. We want our building to foster fellowship and close connection.
In those early months of the church in Jerusalem, the disciples would do ministry in an area known as “Solomon’s Porch,” an area alongside the temple courts that was not only a space for gathering, for laughter, for fellowship, but also a space for sharing in each other’s burdens. It was into that space that these disciples, carrying the gospel of Christ, brought healing.
Our Mission Partner
The Restoration House (TRH) has undertaken an ambitious step of faith in its mission to help restore single mothers and their children back to God’s good intent for their lives. In particular, they saw a dire need in our community for quality early childhood education, recognizing the financial and educational obstacles that lack can present to families led by single mothers.
TRH, based on in-good-faith partnership from our church and others, opened The Olive Tree Early Learning Academy last Fall. Olive Tree’s mission is to partner families together with exceptional educators in a whole-child approach to high-quality early education that provides a creative, safe, and inclusive environment where children grow to love learning.
Our Session has committed 20% of this campaign ($1.5 million) to go toward supporting the opening and early operation of Olive Tree, along with the commitment of our time and talent in joining with this new ministry in providing high-quality early education.
