Our campus is a space where we gather, hear God’s truth, experience community, and are sent out to live for Jesus every day.
Twenty-nine years ago, we embraced a bold vision – to buy this 100-acre property and create a space to equip God’s people for His mission. For nearly three decades, we have been a lighthouse reaching Southwest Florida with the light of the gospel, inspiring and transforming lives.
Our church family has continued this legacy of light, leading to remarkable growth, especially among our Academy and Kids Ministry. Now, we stand at a crossroads, needing more space for our Academy to continue educating our students with excellence through a Christian worldview, along with room to host unprecedented numbers of first-time families, gospel responses, and life-changing decisions.
New challenges and new opportunities come with growth. How we leverage our location and multiplying spirit will impact our community for generations. That’s why we’re excited to develop a space to share Jesus’ love with young families and continue equipping the next generation to carry the gospel message into all facets of their lives—where they live, work, and play.
In April, we were able to pray over the new building and write scriptures on the foundation. The work continues as flooring, walls, technology, and other finishes are installed.
We look forward to the day when our kids are able to gather here on Sunday mornings, our Young Adults will use the space for worship and growing in community, equipping classes will help new disciples dig deeper in their faith, and our academy will develop young leaders in Fine Arts. As progress continues, please pray for the future ministry that will happen in this space!
Whether it’s kids’ worship, first-time guest services, FBA fine arts, a disaster-relief hub, or even overflow, we are looking forward to all the opportunities this space holds!
The central placement of the building will improve our First Time Guest process, simplify Kids Check-In for our families, free up more classrooms for FBA, and provide us with a flexible, multi-purpose space for special events and classes like Discover First + Christianity 101. With this space, we are better equipped to serve and partner with the families walking through our doors to love Jesus every day!
