FAITH NOW GENERATIONS TO COME

"Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, "Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!"

Genesis 15:5

The BEYOND campaign has been a defining season for our church. Over the past three years, we have seen God do more than we imagined—families growing, children and students filling our spaces, groups multiplying, and lives being transformed through baptism and service. Yet even as this campaign comes to an official close, the call to go BEYOND is far from finished.

God is still asking us to trust Him with faith that stretches us, the kind of faith that moves us past what is comfortable and into the miraculous. Just as Abraham was called to step into the unknown and believe for promises beyond what he could see, we believe God is calling City of Light to keep stepping out. The vision is still unfolding, and He is still writing the story.

This is a moment to keep believing, to keep giving, and to keep going BEYOND. Every act of faith is helping to create space for more families, more students, and more lives to be changed. We may not yet see the full picture, but we know His plans are good. And just as Abraham was invited to look up at the sky and imagine the countless stars, we believe there are countless lives still waiting to be reached through what God is doing in and through us.

SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

As part of BEYOND, we stepped out in faith and acquired a new building—an exciting milestone that will expand what’s possible for our church and our city. This new space is more than just a building; it is a place where dreams and relationships will grow. We envision co-working spaces that will inspire creativity and collaboration, family-friendly areas designed to nurture connection, a larger auditorium where people can gather in worship, outdoor areas for celebrations and community events, an entrepreneur hub that sparks opportunity, and student spaces where young people can belong and thrive.

God is already bringing this vision to life, and we believe this new home will be a hub of hope, innovation, and transformation for years to come. Together, we are stepping into the future, continuing to move BEYOND, and trusting God to finish the good work He has started in us.

Two Years of Impact—And We’re Just Getting Started!

As we come to the close of this two-year campaign, we stand in awe of God’s faithfulness. Time and again, He has shown us that His vision for our church is bigger than we could ever imagine—and He has increased us beyond what we thought possible. But we believe He’s not done yet. There is still more to accomplish, more lives to reach, and more impact to be made. That’s why we’re inviting you to continue pressing forward—keep giving, keep believing, and keep trusting that together we will see the vision come to pass.
