When we moved into our first facility 3 years ago we knew that it would be temporary. We believed that the Lord would multiply our church and we would eventually need to build a second phase. He did. We have nearly tripled in size during those three years!
To keep up with the growth we have added more services. (We currently do 4 services)
Having four services has helped by adding more space, but what we have found is that most people still prefer to attend church in our prime times (Sunday mornings 9:45am and 11:15am)
In order to continue growing we needed to add more seats in those prime times, so we began a capital building campaign last year, and had blueprints drawn up, and met with contractors and FINALLY we are ready to break ground on phase 2! To see a video you can click here
It is very exciting to think that this dream will soon be reality-----but here's the thing we must make sure we don't lose sight of; Jesus Christ didn't come to this earth and die on a cross for a Building. He came for People!
Buildings are great. But building buildings are not our goal at Foothills. Our mission is not complete because we built a new building. Our mission will only be complete when every person knows Jesus Christ personally.
What should really excite us, is to think that God has used Foothills Community Church to lead hundreds of people to faith in Christ!
By the way, We will have a ground breaking celebration on January 28th at 4:00pm, followed by a brief time of praise and worship. It's going to be incredble. Do not miss this event.
