FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS 1. SPACE | God has tripled (over 300/week) the number of children we serve over the past 6 years. We are at capacity. Children are too important to allow our facilities to limit His mission. This building project will create sufficient space for future growth for generations to come.
3. SAFETY | Security is a priority to us. We are thankful for our security team that diligently watches over each of us every week. This building will increase our security from very good to state of the art. The children’s space will have one entrance and exit. Every other door will be secure but will be able to be accessed from the inside if needed.
FORWARD: GOD’S VISION FOR OUR FUTURE
AND MY GOD WILL MEET ALL YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY IN CHRIST JESUS.

2. EFFECTIVENESS | Our current children’s ministry is spread out across our campus. This keeps our leaders and volunteers from currently being able to invest into children with the depth that we want. This facility will create unity, cohesion, efficiency, and greater community amongst children and their families. On top of this, there will be many proximate little toilets for our smallest missionaries!
PHILIPPIANS 4:19
• CHALLENGE FORWARD | Our society is becoming less “Christian” with each generation. Every church and believer must act swiftly to make a difference and this includes greater discipleship and investment into children. • MISSION FORWARD | God’s plan is to use our lives to create HeartLand missionaries who will influence the world. This facility will create tremendous opportunity to do that to a greater extent than ever before. • FAMILY FORWARD | If our faith moves forward to reach another generation it will be because families and churches are partnering together in their discipleship. • FAITH FORWARD | God is continually calling his people to faith in what He has in store for their future, especially to expand his kingdom. Without faith we cannot please God (Heb. 11:6). By faith, we can believe that God is able to do more than we can imagine for His glory (Eph. 3:20-21). • PRAY FORWARD | Our prayer is a good measurement of how much we truly believe that we need God. This project will demand great prayer because it can only be achieved by God’s power. When God provides, we will give Him ALL GLORY.
THE
• INVEST FORWARD | Our investments today bring great spiritual dividends tomorrow. This project is an investment into lives that need to be saved, called, and used for God’s purposes.
