May Partner Update: The Walls Are Going Up. And We’re Not Stopping.


To every Future Is Now partner,

This is my fifth update since we broke ground on December 8th. And I want to start where I always do with gratitude.

Thank you for your faith. Thank you for your flexibility. Thank you for giving when it was still just a vision, and for continuing to give while that vision becomes walls, rooms, and steel.

What you sowed into is no longer conceptual. It is physical. And this month, I want to give you the clearest picture yet of exactly where we stand.

We Are Still at 4401 Through June

Here is some news I am glad to deliver: we are still at 4401 N. Highway 161 through the entire month of June.

The buyer has graciously agreed to a leaseback arrangement, which gives us more runway than originally planned. Sundays and Wednesdays, same place, same schedule. We are moving forward month by month with September as our target move-in. We will keep you informed every step of the way.

The Steel Is In. The Walls Are Going Up.

The biggest structural milestone of this entire project happened this month. And it happened because of you.

A massive structural truss and beam has been installed in the worship center. Cranes had to lift steel into position after sections of the roof were removed and reinforced to carry the load. That is not routine work that is the backbone of the space going in.

Worship Center Truss and beam installed. Metal wall studs now being installed around the perimeter of the worship center. Rough electrical and HVAC installation begin next.
Children’s Area Walls taped, electrical roughed in, concrete backfill finished. Now being textured and primed. Ceilings next, followed by millwork and cabinetry for the kids’ spaces and front lobby.
Outside the Building Irrigation repaired, water shutoff replaced, new metal studs staged and ready on site.

Every one of those lines represents real work. Real progress. Real generosity turned into real walls.

Commitments don’t build buildings. Dollars do. The gap between what has been committed and what has been given is where your continued faithfulness lives. Keep your giving consistent. Keep your yes active.

If you have a commitment honor it. Stay consistent. And if you are a partner who has not yet formalized a TFIN commitment, I am asking you personally to pray about it. We are in a two-year journey and every person matters. Do not sit this one out.
