God is good. No matter what challenges we face, we continue to walk in God’s timing!
As you may remember, last spring, we celebrated three years of building more room for God. We shared with you that we did not meet our initial minimum $18 million goal, and project costs had increased.
We put our faith in God once again and extended our giving journey. During the BUILD Town Hall in June 2021, we committed to providing a new giving goal this Fall after undertaking a cost clarification process over the course of the summer.
We are now ready to take another significant step of faith as a church, with a new giving goal.
- $2.3M is the shortfall from our initial three-year goal.
- $7.5M is the net cost increase for the entire project including Bearspaw, Central, Global and other campuses. One Project, Many Locations.
Together we have faith that God will provide as we raise $9.8 million to BUILD more room for God.
Just like Joseph, and many other biblical heroes, we continue to walk in faith despite the challenges in our path, like increased costs. Rising costs are no match for our God of infinite resources, the source of all creation who conquered the grave. He chooses when to release His abundance from heaven to His children here on earth; we know He will provide, and that He has a purpose for this extended season of sacrifice as we get to experience His power when we stretch ourselves in our giving journey.
This month as we step into a new chapter of giving for BUILD, we will be providing a special opportunity to give over and above your regular giving. Also, prayerfully seek God and how He may be leading you to extend your giving into chapter 2 of our BUILD story by clicking here.
