In November 2007, we completed our first church-wide capital stewardship campaign to raise the capital resources necessary to pay for the new church facility. We exceeded our goal of raising $12 million. We praise God for his overwhelming faithfulness and our congregation's extraordinary outpouring of generosity!
- Your kingdom come,
- your will be done
- on earth as it is in heaven.
- Matthew 6:10
Having our own church will enable most responsibly to execute to vision the Lord has entrusted to us. It will significantly enhance every area of ministry and provide us with a physical platform from which to lift high the cross of Christ and powerfully extend his reign in Houston and beyond!
Of course we all look forward to the many blessings a permanent facility will bring to our own congregation, but the primary reason we are taking this giant step is this:
To powerfully extend Christ’s Kingdom
Extending the Kingdom has been the vision for Christ the King from the beginning, and we have always believed that a permanent facility would be vital to fulfilling that vision. We knew this time would come, and now – after years of tremendous growth and limited, temporary facilities – is that time. When Jesus launched his public ministry, he announced, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
What a privilege the Lord has given us to be His Kingdom-extending agents. What a thrill to see his gospel of grace impact the world through us. We are building in order to be the most effective Kingdom-advancing engine possible. We will sacrifice greatly now, but what we give today is an investment that will make a difference for generations to come. He is worthy! Let’s make the most of the extraordinary opportunity he has given us, and for his glory, may he bless us beyond our wildest expectations!
