A Journey of Generosity
Following Jesus is at the center of who we are. The Follow campaign sets the stage for how the next two years will shape the next 25 and beyond. Specifically, we believe the time is right to solve two primary facility challenges we face that are hindering the accomplishment of our mission: connection space at the Brentwood Campus and a permanent home for the Franklin Campus, and to do this without taking on debt. But Follow is about more than buildings—it's about cultivating a heart that overflows with generosity.
And Jesus Showed Us The Way
The journey of generosity is modeled after Jesus' life: come, see, give, and live—a virtuous cycle of generosity from the heart. And the beauty of it is it's not just one and done, but it becomes a way of life. Our life becomes a reflection of what Jesus said: “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." And don’t miss this—the abundant life is the overflowing life. It is living in such a way that others may live.
But It Will Take All Of Us To Cross The Finish Line
Through God's kindness and the generous giving of our church body, coupled with our staff's good stewardship, we only need $1.8 million more to reach our $36 million goal.
We're so close!
Goal: $36,000,000
Total remaining to raise: $1,889,914
So, between now and October 2027, we're locking arms—and opening our hands—to give an additional $1.8 million together.

Connection space at Brentwood
Our Brentwood Campus has served us very well, but we've never had a connection space where people can run into each other between services and have a conversation, or get a cup of coffee, or gather during the week to sit and study God’s word together. That’s why we plan to build a Connection Center, which would be a multi-use venue that could be used on Sunday mornings as a gathering place, a lobby area, and then all throughout the week for different gatherings.

A permanent home for Franklin
The problem at our Franklin Campus is clear: we need a permanent home. We've made great use of a rented facility for our Franklin congregation, but we’re rapidly outgrowing it—even though we’ve maximized our use of the space. Not to mention, because it's a rented space, we won't be able to stay in it for the long term. After praying and searching for over eight years, God has allowed us to purchase land to establish a permanent location for our Franklin Campus.

Let's Do This Together
Only then do we “see”—our eyes are opened to see spiritual truths and realities. It is like Elisha’s servant having his eyes opened to see God’s army in 2 Kings. Jesus made it clear that we find them when we “give” our lives away. Thus, we live—not holding and grasping—but distributing God’s resources for his kingdom purposes. And the journey never ends because we live to invite others to come to Jesus.
