A PLAN FOR EVERY MINISTRY AND EVERY GENERATION
Our facilities have served Houston Northeast well for many years, but some of our spaces are beginning to create barriers to ministry.
Crowded gathering areas, limited ministry space, outdated technology, security concerns, and campus flow as well as accessibility all affect how we welcome and walk alongside others with the love of Christ.
After months of prayer, evaluation, and careful planning, God’s shown us a plan that will benefit our entire church family: a plan that makes room for every ministry and every generation.
THE PLAN
Two-Story Education Addition
Nearly 8,000 square feet of additional ministry space for Kids and Students, improved security, and better accessibility for Adult LifeGroups and our church family.
1
Lobby Renovation & Expansion
Enlarged, open-concept spaces featuring a cafe area and improved flow, making it easier to welcome guests, connect, and move throughout the building.
2
Worship Center Updates
Updates and upgrades that allow our main gathering space to continue serving our congregation and community well for years to come.
3
Improved Outdoor Spaces
Renovate baptismal area to match the warmth and welcome experienced inside our walls, including additional covered spaces for gathering and the opportunity for ministry events.
