Frequently Asked Questions

We need to prepare ourselves emotionally and physically to be in transition for a while as we get ready and build our new facility. We will find temporary spaces for our ministries and work on new systems and structures to allow us to thrive during this transitional, “in-between” time.

Emmaus Road has agreed to host our Children’s Center for the next school year. It will run as it has normally operated under our ministry umbrella, and Emmaus Road will observe and then decide what they want to do concerning that ministry at the end of the next school year.

The goal is to break ground this summer/fall and do some site preparation and utilities work to be ready for the main construction to start next spring, Lord willing.

We will soon be getting bids for the site prep and utilities, but we won’t bid the rest of the project until we have a better idea of our finances for construction. When we do, we will be asking a pre-screened list of contractors for their best price, and going with the best deal we can make. Keep the Go4th Team and the Church Council in your prayers for when this process begins sometime in early 2027, Lord willing.

Not yet, so before we begin the main construction, we will be doing another capital campaign in Fall of 2026 to raise the remaining amount so we can begin building as soon as possible, possibly Spring or Summer of 2027. Between what we have from the Building Momentum campaign and the sale of the building, we will have over $6.3 million in cash for the project , and we will be able to do the site preparation and possibly put in the utilities and/or pave our portion of 95th Street as soon as this summer.

Once we know what we have in the bank, what we have in pledges and the final costs estimate of the project, we can make an informed, wise decision as a church family about the timing on construction.

YES! We will be launching another capital campaign in the fall of 2026, but if you’re feeling called to give early, please feel free to designate your gift (over and above your regular giving, we still need to do ministry in the meantime!) to the building fund.

Our biggest needs right now are for people to pray for the health & growth of our church as well as for a successful capital campaign so we can be prepared for building our new permanent church. In the midst of that we also have several ministries that are in need of support.
