Church Unusual: Doing The Math & Trusting God Anyway

Donation protected
We’re stepping into a bold $1,000,000+ building project to expand into the building attached to our church.

In 5 short years we've outgrown our current space, so when the opportunity presented itself to assume control of the building next door, we jumped at the chance since we were already busting at the seams.

But here's the "we must be crazy" part of this project...

As of today, we only have $31,000 in our building fund.

And let's be real, that's not even enough to cover the bathrooms, the flooring, the furniture, the HVAC systems, or really anything in a project this size...

So why are we doing it anyway?

It's not because we have all the resources, but because we believe God is calling us to build something bigger than ourselves.

Our circumstances are a little unusual (as you’ll see in the video above). This isn’t a move driven by perfect math or guaranteed outcomes.

It’s a step of faith.

To be honest, this is one of those moments where the numbers don’t add up... So we’re trusting God completely, and with every step we've taken forward, new doors have opened in ways we never expected.

Each day a new person or organization is coming forward to help our cause in their own unique way -

Some have helped with Cash Donations, others are donating tractors, lifts & bobcats to help with the demolition, some are providing professional services.

We've had local concrete companies donate free concrete. Plumbers who installed our new sewer line for free. Painters, Electricians & Carpenters who have come forward to offer their assistance as well.

We even had a group from a church drive 9 hours from West Virginia to help us with the demolition.

Our community has began rallying behind this vision in a massive way, contributing in incredible forms.

God is continuing to open up door after door and is using his people to do it.

Today we invite you to be apart it.

This is Faith Unusual.

It's Hope Unusual.

It's a Mission that's a little Unusual.

This is Church Unusual.
