In 2015, after nearly two decades of setting up and tearing down “church” at various rented venues, God opened the doors of our very own building in beautiful Carlsbad, California! The Lord’s hand of providence was evident through the years and continues to be today.

At the time of construction, our commitment to steward God’s resources well kept us from building-out the second floor of the church. Although it was disappointing not to be able to finish what we started, we were beyond thrilled to have a place to call home—paid in full without going into debt!

Over the last 7 years, we’ve maximized the building for all kinds of gospel ministry. In our little corner of Carlsbad, children & adults have placed their faith in Christ, been baptized, and begun and/or continued their walk with Jesus. 

However, with these joys of ministry also come inevitable growing pains. In our case, we’ve found ourselves limited by accessible square footage.

Our children’s ministry is thriving and we need more classrooms to meet the increased need. Additionally, we believe it’s time we create dedicated space for our youth and adult ministries to call their own, rather than continually locating them in the high-traffic lobby area or weather-impacted outdoor patio.

We’re thrilled to have other Christ-exalting ministries like Heart Christian Academy and Bible Study Fellowship use the building, but they are also itching for more space. We’re popping-up makeshift classrooms in hallways and holding Bible studies in the church kitchen! Whatever it takes to teach the Word & proclaim Jesus! 

We’re not taking what we have for granted—but at the same time we see the potential benefit of four new classrooms, offices, bathrooms, game area, fellowship space, and more.

We’ve been working with Hamann Companies and have developed a floor plan that utilizes the nearly 6,000 square feet second story. The City of Carlsbad has granted us permits and the work can be completed by Hamann in as little as 15 weeks! All the lights are green to move forward–we just need to raise a bit more funds.

In round numbers, the grand total for the expansion is about $800,000. Of that, we have already raised more than $615,000. Additionally, we’ve recently been made aware of other sizable pledged donations. When factoring in the pledges that have been made to date, the amount we still need to raise is roughly $100,000.

Would you please pray for our church? For wisdom, discernment, and resources. If it’s on your heart to give financially to this project, please go here to give to our “Building Fund.” Or, you can make a pledge to give over time.
