Answers to the questions our church family is asking about the Lives and Legacies Building Fund Campaign and our new church home.
Yes, we closed in January for $15.5 million and paid the $4 million down payment out of our savings.
The projected cost is $50 million, and we are awaiting bids from contractors to finalize the budget. Pastor Mark will be giving regular updates throughout fundraising and construction.
Our goal is to open in the summer of 2027 and have a grand opening for our 11th birthday in the fall of 2027.
We will sell it to a non-woke, Bible-believing Christian church and are currently under contract. We are a debt-free church, and all profit will go to the new church building.
Our plan is to start with services Saturday 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. We will have more time for worship, prayer, communion, baptisms, and hanging out as a church family. Pastor Mark will have time for longer sermons and live preaching.
Right now, our ministry is scattered between three locations. The staff is excited to get everyone and everything together. Our two permanent baptismal tanks will allow 1,000+ baptisms a year, which is very exciting, as every service can be a salvation celebration.
Having Real Women, Real Men, Trinity Kids, and Trinity Students all together on Wednesday night will be a huge benefit to helping people take the next step in their walk with Christ. More classroom space will allow for more practical, Bible-based training (e.g., marriage, parenting, finances). We will also launch the Trinity Church Discipleship Institute as a more formal training process to help develop our leaders, especially the next generation of young leaders. We are constantly breaking records for pre-married couples and children, and we will accelerate our discipleship of the next generation.
Who we are will not change. Our mission, vision, values, doctrine, and ministry will remain the same, only larger, as we make room for our growing church family.
We can have large worship nights. We can host large events for men, women, and students. We can host large training events for marriage and parenting. We can host political and cultural debates and discussions to educate our people on living their faith in the public square and standing up for righteousness.
This massive move will allow us to take the lid off Real Men and explode from a ministry to a movement, meeting on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights. The goal is to have the largest weekly Christian men's ministry gathering in the history of North America as we build up men to bless women and children. We will also welcome pastors from other churches and train them in how to start a men's ministry of their own, as we already have over 200 pastors. We refuse to let the world raise the next generation of men. We have a mandate from our Father to reach and raise up His sons!
