TRUSTING THE PROMISE


<give now>


It was July 2005  when we received our Promise for Grace. 


“I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6

  

Over the past fourteen years, we have experienced God working this promise in and through us. Grace is His work and we joined Him. 

   In July 2014, we began a new chapter of the promise. Through our campaign BEYOND we set out to find our next location. Not knowing what the next step was, we moved forward to raise the money needed and began the search for what was next for Grace. 


“Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us” Ephesians 3:20  


Through BEYOND, we witnessed God’s “WOW” moment for Grace with our new Sahara location  and the blessing of our first worship service in June 2015.  

 

Fast Forward to now... 

August 2019, as we begin our fifteenth year, we are preparing for the next chapter, adding more space.  

Trusting the Promise - not a new promise, not a new direction - the SAME PROMISE, that God started this work! He started it in us and He will bring it to completion!  

While there is still a lot we don’t know about what our next steps will be, we are going to prepare for what we do know. 

We know God wants Grace to grow. We know if Grace is going to grow, we need more space. 

The Trusting the Promise campaign is a challenge to the church family and friends to work together to see the next chapter of the Promise come to reality! 


WHAT WE ARE ASKING OF YOU...

BE PRAYERFUL.

Pray that God gives us wisdom through the process, keeps us united around the vision, and moves us forward in making desciples. 


BE FLEXIBLE.

Expansion will require us to rearrange and make changes. These changes may affect traffic flow, classes, and may be visible as projects are worked on week to week. Remember we will work through each phase - as we continue to lean into God’s direction.


BE GENEROUS.

Our stewardship approach is to be a financially healthy church - ready to step into the activity of God and where He leads us. Expanding the Kingdom comes with expanding costs. We know that our finances are in God’s hands.  

We are inviting you to join in on where God is working, remembering:  Ask God what He would have you to give, and be faithful and do it! 

 

WHEN YOU GIVE: 

You can give on Sundays through envelopes, online through Tithe.ly, or through bill pay. 

 

Either way - make sure to designate your additional giving as “Trusting the Promise”.


BE INFORMED.

We will provide prayer requests, updates, and changes along the way. While we do not know all the answers, we will do our best to answer your questions, so feel free to ask!


BE INVOLVED.

God has blessed Grace with an incredible group of servant-minded people. We will communicate needs and areas where you can serve as we move through the process. As Jesus grows our church, we ask that you use the gifts that God gave you to serve others. We need everyone to be involved in some level.
