Future Home is a two-year, Spirit-led initiative to build, multiply and give as we seek to help every person we encounter experience, embrace and participate in the relational love of our Trinitarian God.
What is future home?
Our initiative will have three specific focuses:
BUILD
We are planning to build a larger, permanent facility on the corner of 211th and Baseline, on the five-acres of land gifted to us in 2023. The existing 10,000 square foot building will be renovated to become the ‘Table Kids/Youth’ wing, and a new 15,000+ square foot lobby and auditorium will be built, allowing for future growth and helping us to become a cornerstone church in our community for decades to come.
MULTIPLY
We have always been a church that plants churches, nationally and locally. Each year we give 5% of our total income toward church planting, but we would love to increase this amount and specifically invest in a new church plant in our surrounding area. Washington County needs more good churches, not less, and we want to help catalyze that.
GIVE
This initiative must be about more than just building a building. From day one, we have been a church that gives our resources away generously to those in need around us. We currently give away roughly $50,000 each year through our Justice & Mercy fund, and would like to double this fund over the next two years so we can serve even more people that may never walk through the doors of our physical church building.

Primary Goal
Our primary goal in the ‘Future Home’ initiative is that every man, woman and child who calls TCC ‘home’ would engage fully in this season. This initiative is no small task and is going to take participation and sacrificial commitment from every single person in our church family.
Secondary Goal
Our secondary goal is to raise $3.3 million over-and-above our normal tithes and offerings over the next two years. The majority of this will be used to build our future home, but a large portion will also be used for deepening our commitment to justice/mercy and church planting in our area.

Urgency: Why Now?
Simply put, we are out of space.
We have spent the past few years trying to adapt and adjust to make our current space work, but it’s become increasingly clear that we need a bigger building to accommodate ongoing growth. We cannot keep adding new gatherings, and we cannot plant churches fast enough to relieve the growth pressures. While we did not set out to become a large church, we do want to reach as many people with the Good News of Jesus as possible and our current building limitations are hindering our ability to steward what God has entrusted to us in this area.
Additionally, our elders believe that this project is not only a strategic investment in our future, spiritually speaking, but also a wise financial investment as we seek to steward the people and resources God has entrusted to us.
"For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God."
