If you think the hardest part of this journey was moving out, it was not. We have moved. We are worshipping together every Sunday at MacArthur High School. Everything is working. But the move was never the finish line. It was the beginning of the most important season of building.

While we gather each week as a church family, another team is preparing the place where future generations will encounter Jesus. Not just another building. A home. And over the last few weeks, you reminded us exactly why we are building it.

Written Beneath the Floor

At Make Your Mark Sunday, many of you walked through the building. You wrote your names. You wrote prayers. You wrote Scriptures on the floors and walls of our future home.

Soon, those signatures will disappear beneath the flooring. No one will ever see them again.

But years from now, someone may receive the life of Christ in that room. A child may hear the Gospel for the very first time. Someone searching for hope may finally find it. All while standing over prayers they never knew were beneath their feet.

You Can See It Now

And today, you can actually see that future taking shape.

From Construction Site to Worship Space

The Worship Center finally feels like a room instead of a construction site. The walls are finished. The steel is in place. The upper tier is in. The elevator is running. This is the same space that months ago was being gutted, cut open, and reinforced. Today it is a worship center taking form.

The Final Stretch

We are now entering one of the most exciting phases yet. Platforms, paint, flooring, permanent seating, and finishing touches throughout our children’s spaces are all ahead of us.

Before long, these rooms will not just look ready. They will be ready to welcome people home.

That is why this season matters. That is why your generosity matters right now more than ever.

If you have been faithfully giving toward your Future Is Now commitment, thank you. This is the season your commitment was made for. Every gift is helping move us through the final stretch. Keep going.

If you have already fulfilled your commitment, would you prayerfully consider giving beyond it?

And if you have never joined this vision, there is still time. We are asking anyone and everyone to pray about giving toward The Future Is Now or making a commitment.

We are not just building a building. We are building a home where kids will grow up learning the gospel, students will discover their calling, families will find hope, and people will walk through those doors looking for grace.

Let’s finish what we started together.
