After Years of Growth, We needed more space.
And in God’s providence, He opened the door for us to move into and lease 5415 Ralston St. We’ve been able to continue ministry alongside those who have carried His presence here for so long.
Even better, we now have the opportunity to purchase this building before June 2029, making it our permanent home.
With a central and accessible location rooted in a neighborhood, our new home will not only accommodate future growth, but also allow us to serve our city in practical ways, offering a place where neighbors can gather, families can grow, and our community can find refuge and renewal. But's not just about today. By building now, we are laying a foundation for future generations to encounter the gospel, be discipled, and carry the mission of Jesus forward long after us.
Even though the appraised value of the property is significantly higher, we’ve secured a purchase price of $11.3 million—and we already have $3 million in the bank.
Raising an additional $3.2 million would allow us to purchase the building outright and finance the remainder through a manageable mortgage.
But there’s an even greater opportunity: if we raise a total of $5 million, we could not only secure a modest mortgage but also invest further in the building itself and the ministries that will thrive here for generations to come.
This is a moment to step forward in faith—to secure a permanent home and continue building a future that reaches Ventura County and continues a gospel legacy.
Giving Above and Beyond
Our church’s ongoing ministry is sustained by the faithful generosity of our community. This building purchase campaign is an opportunity to give in addition to your regular tithes and donations—ensuring that our everyday ministry continues unhindered even as we take this exciting next step. Prayerfully consider what God might lead you to give beyond your normal rhythm of giving.
Giving Over Time
In addition to one-time gifts, consider what you could commit to over the next three years. For many, that may include your regular income, future bonuses, investments, or other unexpected provisions God might bring. Every gift—large or small—moves us closer to seeing this vision fulfilled.
Giving With Freedom and Faith
Each person’s situation is unique, and every gift is between you and God. Some will be able to contribute more, others less—and that’s completely okay. What matters most is that your giving flows from prayer, gratitude, and trust—not pressure. Whether or not you’re able to give, you are a cherished part of this church family.
