The Next Yes!

Let’s Say “Yes” Again

Three years ago, our church said “Yes” to finishing what we started—and finishing for the future. We committed $2 million toward the first phase of our campus expansion, and because of your faithfulness and generosity, I’m thrilled to say: Phase One is complete!

Here’s what’s been accomplished:

• A larger, safer entrance to our property (Governors Blvd)
• Construction of an offsite retention pond
• ADA-compliant parking added in front of the Family Life Center
• A new covered walkway on the west side
• Cleanup of the eastern retention pond
• Fire suppression systems in the Kids Wing and Christian Education Building
• A fresh facelift of the Next Gen Chapel
• A temporary play area for our children
• A new lift station and groundwork laid for the future atrium

Much of this work may not be flashy—but it’s foundational. And the good news is… it’s done!

Now we’re ready to move forward into the next phase—and it’s a big one.

The Next Yes: Renovating the Family Life Center

The Family Life Center is both the oldest and most-used building on our campus. It’s time to reimagine this space to meet the needs of our growing, multigenerational church. The vision is to create:

• A warm, welcoming environment for connection and community
• A recreation area for students and adults
• A flexible ministry space to host gatherings of 100 to 400 people

Hernando County and the Nature Coast are growing rapidly—with both young families and retirees moving in. As a church for the whole family, this space will be a game-changer and unlock new ministry opportunities like never before.

Let me remind you of something powerful: 64% of our community is not connected to a local church. This is our mission field! And while this may look like a building project, this is really about making room for more souls.

I’m asking three things of you:

1. Pray.
   Ask the Holy Spirit to speak clearly to your heart about your part in this. The total renovation cost is $2 million. That’s a big number—but it’s entirely possible if we all do our part.
2. Come ready to make a faith commitment.
   We are receiving two-year commitments starting on Sunday, March 30th toward the project. Like Jacob, who vowed to give before he even received the promise (Genesis 28), this is our step of faith—it’s how we make room and say “yes” together.
3. Bring a seed offering.
   Jenna and I are personally giving 10% of our total commitment as a seed of faith into this next season. I invite you to join us by sowing your own seed.

I’m not asking anyone to do anything other than to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. I believe He will bless you and enlarge your territory in this season.

“Oh that you would bless us indeed and enlarge our territory, that your hand might be with us, and that you would keep us from harm so that it might not bring us pain!”
(1 Chronicles 4:10, ESV)

Let’s be full of expectation, ready to say “Yes!” again to all God has in store.

With Faith For The Future,
Pastor Daniel
