Thank you for giving

We’re committed to financial integrity and transparency. If the full amount isn’t raised, we’ll work with our builder and architect to explore what’s possible within the funds we do receive. Additionally, we’ll seek God for direction and reimagine how to move forward with what He provides.

That’s a fair question — and one we’ve given a lot of thought to. While adding services can help in some ways, the reality is that most people naturally gravitate toward a few key service times. No matter how many additional service options we offer, those tend to stay the most crowded. That’s why we believe the most effective solution is to create more space during the services people are already choosing. A larger auditorium will help us make room for more people when they’re most likely to come.

We plan to borrow for this project. However, we hold a firm line on responsible borrowing. There is a set threshold we won’t exceed, because we never want debt to hinder ministry. Any debt we do take on will be measured, wise, and within boundaries that protect our church’s future.

Yes, and in some cases we are. However, larger building projects often require major components to be completed together. But we are committed to avoiding unnecessary debt and moving forward wisely as God provides. With that in mind, the timing of each project will look different depending on the scope of each project.

At our Norman campus:

● Phase 1: Construct the auditorium, lobby, and coffee shop all together.

● Phase 2: Remodel the Theater auditorium once funds allow

At our Shawnee campus:

● Phase 1: Parking lot expansion

● Phase 2: An outdoor gathering space

At our Newcastle campus:

● Phase 1: Remodel meat market

● Phase 2: Construct auditorium, lobby, and additional classrooms

● Phase 3: Remodel existing kids space

This allows us to address immediate needs now while planning responsibly for what’s next

We believe in giving our best to the next generation. That’s why kids, youth, and their families will be part of this journey from start to finish.
 Kids and youth will have space and opportunity to dream big, develop their gifts, and influence their communities. Every space is designed to help them make friends and hear stories that make their story too.

Not at all! While some may choose to give their full commitment up front, most people will give monthly or quarterly over three years.
 Since the Stories Campaign is a 3-year journey, every gift—large or small—matters. We believe generosity will be stretched, new levels reached, and lives changed. Never feel pressured—our hope is you pray and follow God’s leading.

You can begin giving at any time! You can set up recurring gifts or give as you’re able throughout the Stories Campaign journey.
