400%+ Growth in Just a Few Years
In 2021, this ministry averaged around 20 participants, with no programming available for kids or youth. Today, over 100 people who once felt stuck in hurts, habits, and hang-ups are finding freedom in Christ week after week—sustained by incredible volunteers, with age-appropriate programming now available for kids and youth.

Lives Transformed by Grace
This past year, we've seen people who were searching, hurting and looking for hope find it in Christ. What an honor to get to walk alongside individuals in their faith journey and be a witness to lives being changed by the grace of Jesus!

Phase Two
Close to the Finish Line
The total projected cost of Phase Two is $3.25 million. Because of faithful giving, we began with $1.25M already set aside.
Through the Reaching Beyond campaign, almost $1.4M has been pledged or given.

$2.65M of $3.25M
Only $600,000 to go to fully fund this project
This campus is where children and students first hear about Jesus. Where families find hope. Where people find healing. Reaching this goal means continuing to trust God for what He can do through us together.
When we step back, one thing is very clear.
