What is "Time To Build"?

Because of the phenomenal growth experienced here at our church, the pastoral staff, deacons, long-range planning committee and many in this body believe this is the TIME TO BUILD!  This is not a fundraiser-our church is not about building buildings, but about winning people to our Lord Jesus Christ, building them up in the faith, and sending them out into the world to share with others what God has done for them.  Instead, TIME TO BUILD is a giving campaign  which is designed to stretch our faith and help us to learn to sacrifice for the cause of Christ by giving out of our own resources, with the result being personal spiritual growth.

Purposes of TIME TO BUILD:

1.    To help people grow to spiritual maturity

        a.    sermon series "Time to Build a Life of..."
        b.    family devotional guide paralleling the sermon series
        c.    lunchtime Bible reading schedule on the subject of Hope
        d.    personal testimonies

2.    To raise funds to build a worship center

        a.    to meet existing and future space needs for worship services, Sunday school, choir and youth needs
        b.    through a cash offering on Commitment Sunday and through a three-year giving commitment

3.    To build relationships and fellowship between people in our church family

        a.    home visits have occurred and new relationships have been formed
        b.    times of prayer and fellowship over shared meals

4.    To celebrate and thank God for His many blessings - November 21 - An all church Thanksgiving Banquet
