Sunday, March 10th, was a special day for us as a church as we concluded “Stepping Forward” with a time of commitment. It was beautiful to see the church, led by our children, move in faith! On Sunday, March 17th, we shared that after assimilating all of the information and counting all the coins in the cans from our kids, we made commitments of $887,331 over regular giving and over twenty-four months. However, since March 17th, our commitments have moved to $932,432! Thanks be to God! The commitment amount is a strong response! Our goal was not to sit still but to use what we have to strengthen our church and love our communities. By God’s grace and through the church’s generosity, we are “STEPPING FORWARD.” We have a building team led by Rich Kirk, one of ValleyPoint’s elders, initiating action. The Building Team will report to the Elders. Our heart’s desire and goal is to steward the generosity of God’s people carefully. The Building Team will seek competent, cost-effective bids throughout the process and provide professional oversight on behalf of the church. The Building Team will not receive compensation or “inside” contract work. We will provide updates along the journey. If you still want to participate and make a commitment, you can do so at any point throughout the next 24 months. Church, thank you for stepping forward. We are excited to see how God uses our land and buildings to point people to real relationships and significance.
