With the plans we have and the growth trajectory of our community over the next five years, we forecast that our financial needs in our operating budget and our added expanded capital could be close to $8,000,000 total. Our prayer is that you will join us in raising $1,500,000 quickly over the next two years so Canoe Creek Christian Church can expand our outreach in ways that facilitate impactful discipleship and will share Jesus with our world.
The "ALL IN?" ministry plan has three primary areas of focus that will guide us in expanding how we facilitate discipleship and share Jesus with our world.
Increase our discipleship capacity by developing a more dynamic plan of education for our Family and Adult ministries. To help people grow spiritually and engage more deeply with the church we will hire a full-time adult minister.
We will renovate and upgrade our existing facility to help us provide the adequate space to accommodate current and future families, as well as accommodate the vision for family ministries.
We will create a Canoe Creek Christian Church, Spanish Expression that is able to authentically reach, love and disciple our growing Latino community.
As our community grows and changes around us, we are already finding our physical space to be smaller than our big vision. We are out of room and lacking dynamic educational leadership that will ultimately serve as the catalyst for sharing Jesus with those right next to us and those far from us.
We are excited to renovate and add new space to our building, hire new staff, and be good stewards of our financial resources... but most of all, we are excited to see how God will move in our hearts as He uses each one of us to make this expansion a reality.
What do we do first?
Please spend time in prayer to see how God will guide you and our entire Canoe Creek Family.
Our goal is 100% participation. Your heart and hands committed to the vision God has for us is valuable.
Please consider what you are able to give and make a sacrificial and generous commitment to support our growth as a community.
Be excited about the fact that God is going to do some amazing things in the future that'll allow you to share your unique experience with the rest of the world.
Over the next five years we forecast that our financial needs in our operating budget and our added expanded capital could be close to $8 million total.
Similar to a business, in general church financial planning, there are two ways we manage our funds. First is our
Operating Budget, which is our day to day bills (salaries, supplies, power, software, furniture and equipment) and the second is
Expanded Capital which is typically funds raised toward specific and relatively large purchases like land, expansions, larger repairs or renovations. We're asking our family to help us raise $1.5 million of expanded capital over the next two years to quick launch us into completing our three part vision: adding family and adult ministries, renovating to accommodate growth, and creating Canoe Creek Expresión.
Even though we have a few missions within this request, we're using a “One Fund” approach. That means, rather than asking our Canoe Creek family to give to the Operating Budget, and then give separately to our building expansion fund, and then dig into their pockets again for a new staff hire, we want to make it easy for you. One vision, one ask, one commitment from you over five years, to accomplish these next steps in our church's story.
We know $8 million is a major ask of our church and we want you to know we have major plans to serve this community and beyond. We are asking everyone who calls Canoe Creek their home church to consider how they can make a sacrificial “ALL IN?” commitment. As you trust in God’s leading and provision, consider how you might be able to expand your current level of giving to help accomplish the ministry plan above.
The ALL IN? Stories
The stories of changed lives are shaping the ALL IN? vision for the future. As God moves in your heart you are empowered to impact your community. We are excited to see how many stories will be powerfully impacted through the ALL IN? commitments and sacrifices.
