FOR THE HOUSE is a giving campaign to raise funds to expand our existing Worship Center from 600 seats to 1,100 seats.
It is a six-month (22-week) project beginning Fall 2024, with a completion date of Easter 2025.
Track our progress as we reach our goal in the GM Commons!
One chair = $1,181. Every chair = Life Change!
Purchase your FOR THE HOUSE merch on Sundays while supplies last. Wear it on Sunday, November 24, as a way to say I’M FOR THE HOUSE!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
One of two things would likely be the result…
1 – A plateau of growth and ultimately a decline in our church body—nobody wants to sit in a crowded room, resulting in guests and attendees not returning for a Sunday morning service.
2 – The need to expand to four worship services, putting a strain on our volunteer teams, leadership, and staff.
Neither of which is a desired outcome!
Plans are already underway! We will see construction begin before Christmas 2024. We do not expect to experience an interruption of the use of our Worship Center during the expansion project. The entire expansion is slated to be competed by April 20, 2025 (Easter Sunday).
We would like to see the project fully pledged by November 24, 2024, with 70% of committed funds received by December 31. The remaining 30% would continue to come in through pledges made through April 20, 2025 (Easter Sunday).
We’re so glald you’re here! Whether you new to church in general or just new to GM, we welcome you to the Genesis Metro family! If you haven’t already, we encourage you to find community through LifeGroups or GM Groups, attend a Next Steps Class or enjoy a Lunch With The Pastors experience.
If you feel at home at GM, we would love for you to participate in this initiative with us, creating opportunities for Life Change for the next person to walk through our doors.
Your current gift or tithe goes towards the general operations of Genesis Metro Church. In order to avoid incurring debt on this expansion project, we are encouraging you to give ABOVE AND BEYOND your current giving.
We believe this kind of sacrificial giving is an act of worship and obedience to what God is calling you to do.
Prayerfully seek how God would have you participate in the FOR THE HOUSE campaign over the next six months.
