“Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.”
- 2 Corinthians 8:11 (NIV)
We are in the final stretch until our new home comes to life and before we know it, we will be moving in! No more pop up church. No more last minute rehearsals. No more piling in kids on top of each other. We will have room to breathe and even more so - to walk in the fullness of what we’re made to do: love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and to carry this love to our backyard and beyond.
Our goal to finish well for the capital building campaign we launched in 2023 is to raise another $1,000,000 by March 2026! Will you pray and seek God for how He can give through you? Below, you’ll find the different avenues of giving and more ways to get involved as we are in a season of preparation.
Thank you for seeing this through with us. Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain (Psalm 127:1)
Pray with Us
Building projects require lots of work and even more prayer! We desire to lay the spiritual groundwork for this building as the builders make a physical one. Pray for:
Favor and Protection for our Building teams, workers, and planners. Unity and Vision for the design, function, and operational needs for the space. Preparation and Grace for us to transition into a new space and to receive all the people who may come in the future.

Make + Keep Your Giving Commitment
God has already shown His generosity by gifting us a $7 million property through Open Door Chapel. Together, we can see this building remade so that the latter glory may exceed the former in Jesus’ name!
Make a pledge to give, then help us see it through! Find the “Ways to Give” listed below, or you can ask for your updated giving progress by emailing us.

How much do we need to raise to finish the project? $1 million will get us to move in! There may extra things we want to add in the future that may require above and beyond giving, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.
How much should I give? The kingdom is built on equal sacrifice, not equal gifts.We will not ask anyone for a specific amount. Give freely as you follow the leading of Holy Spirit. The Bible teaches that the most important thing is to give from a generous heart and not out of obligation or compulsion. (2 Corinthians 9:6-7)
How do I find out my current giving amount and progress? You can email our Finance Team at finance@bighousechurch.com and they will let you know your status.
