TAKING THE NEXT STEP
Now is the time—we’re ready to move forward! With the roots that we’ve built
and the strength of this faith community, God has given us an opportunity to overflow and outpour with
the blessings we have received.
God has been so generous with us! The vision we have been given continues to flourish, and the key
to its fruition lies in our faith and generosity. Our 2017 project cost was $4.3 million and New Heights
showed up in incredible ways. With our 2021 project cost of $4.8 million encompassing our full vision
and mission, we are now at a place to move forward with open hands and hearts to offer our best gift.
This will look different for each and every one of us, but every gift brings us closer to living out our call to
this community. We have sacrificed for and invested in this ministry in so many ways over the years--now
God is calling us to trust and invest in a deeper, selfless way.
Jesus said, “You are here to be light, to shine, to be generous with your life. And in so doing, you’ll
prompt people to open up with God, th is generous Father in heaven.”
You could say that God has put us on a light stand and now it’s time to lean into our deep roots, trust in
the communities we’ve built, overflow with thanksgiving, and shine! With Jesus leading, we can do this!
"Let your roots grow down into him,
and let your lives be built on him.
Then your faith will grow strong in
the truth you were taught, and you
will overflow with thankfulness."
