Immeasurably More

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations.”
Ephesians 3:20-21

The vision, story, and goal behind 180 Life Church's capital campaign for our new home at 180 Still Road.

Our Vision

Twenty Years. One Home.

For 20 years, 180 Life Church has been creating a spiritual wake in one of the most unreached places in America, awakening those asleep to the truth. We've battled homelessness, improved foster care, and served our community - all while operating as spiritual nomads, gathering as a church from basements to schools. Now, God has removed obstacles as we move forward, and secured a home for the mission Jesus has given us.

Why a Immeasurably More?

Faith Beyond Sunday

God has been incredibly faithful. Through His provision and the generosity of His people, 180 Life Church now has a permanent home. But our vision has never been about owning a building. It's about creating spaces where people encounter Jesus, families are strengthened, and disciples are made and sent. One exciting milestone is already on the way. Thanks to God's provision and the faithfulness of many, a new playground has been fully funded and is scheduled to be installed by the end of August. We pray it becomes more than a place for children to play. We want it to be a place where neighbors meet, friendships begin, and our church has opportunities to love and serve our community throughout the week. While we're celebrating what God has already provided, there is still important work ahead. As Immeasurably More gifts continue to come in, our next priority is renovating our current kitchen area into a secure children's wing with dedicated classrooms, children's restrooms, and a new kitchen. These renovations will allow us to create a safe, welcoming environment where children can learn about Jesus and families can feel confident leaving their kids in our care. Immeasurably More giving will also help repair the ceiling and improve the lighting in our worship center, creating a space that better serves our church each week. In addition, our fellowship hall flooring is nearing the end of its life. Replacing it will allow us to continue using that space for meals, classes, groups, and community events for years to come. Every project represents something much greater than construction. They create opportunities for ministry, hospitality, discipleship, and outreach. They help us welcome families, serve our neighbors, and make and send disciples who love and live like Jesus. Thank you for partnering with us as God continues to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.

The Opportunity

100 and 1

Our prayer is for 100 and 1. That represents 100% church engagement as we raise more than $1 million through this campaign - above and beyond your regular tithe and offerings. The total project cost is approximately $4.3 million. We already have $1.2 million from past building savings, and we'll combine campaign funds with a $1 million loan to cover the purchase and renovation of our future church home. The purchase and Phase 1 (bathrooms, parking lot, kids' space) are already covered - renovations to the worship center and fellowship hall happen as campaign funds come in.

5-Year Kingdom Impact

What This Makes Possible

A building isn't the goal - it's the tool. Here's what we believe God will do through this space over the next five years:

Kids - 125+ kids hearing about Jesus' love, with parents baptizing their own children (currently 70)
Life Groups - 300+ people connected (currently 160 adults)
Baptisms - 175 baptisms over five years (~30 in 2024)
Student Ministry - 45+ students learning to love and live like Jesus (currently 15)
Young Adults - 45+ meeting weekly as disciple-makers
Men's & Women's Ministry - church-hosted Bible studies, retreats, and gatherings throughout the week
"As It Is in Heaven" Fund - $100K+ annually toward strategic partnerships locally and internationally
Discipleship - 70% church engagement in making and sending disciples

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

Why do we believe this is the will of God? Throughout the Bible, we see a recurring theme of God guiding His people to establish places of gathering and worship. In Exodus 36, Moses led the Israelites in constructing the sanctuary, where the people were so enthusiastic and generous that Moses had to restrain their offerings. Our own space enhances our presence in the community. This journey has spanned 20 years for our church, and it is evident this is where He is leading us to establish our home. How long do we project it will take to pay off? It's a 25-year loan, but payments will be less than our current rent. The goal is to pay it off in 10–15 years. Do we have to raise a certain amount before we break ground? No. The building is already built, and we have enough funds to purchase and begin Phase 1. Phase II renovations to the fellowship hall and worship center happen as funds come in. How long are pledges? Pledges are typically made over a 3-year period. The campaign launched October 6, 2024 - and we could still use help reaching our goal. Can I give stocks, real estate, or other assets? Yes. Transferring ownership of appreciated assets directly to the church can eliminate capital gains taxes and significantly increase your after-tax proceeds.
