Every week, more than 8,000 adults gather across our campuses. Some have been coming for years. Others are still deciding whether church is for them. What they’re all looking for is a place where God feels real and people actually know their name.

Right now, some of our spaces are full. Kids’ rooms are tight, Sunday mornings are crowded, and in some places a new face has to hunt for a seat. We don’t want anyone to wonder if there’s room for them.

So we’re building: a new campus to reach people we haven’t met yet, and updates to the spaces we already have, so every kid, student, and guest feels expected from the moment they park. This is about more people hearing the good news and finding joy that lasts.

Before anything gets built, we’re asking God to go first. Pray for the people who will walk through these doors, and for the families and neighbors we haven’t met yet.

Before any gift is given, we’re asking you to pray about what your part might be, then tell us. A commitment is simply a promise you make to God and your church about what you plan to give toward this, over time. It helps us plan with confidence, and it helps you give with a plan of your own.

Building takes time, and Sundays keep happening in the meantime. Every person who walks in deserves someone glad to see them, and that someone could be you.

At Effingham, we’re moving to simultaneous services while we build, which means two services at once and twice the need for servant hearts. And it’s not just Effingham. Every one of our campuses can use more serve team members. Whether you can give one Sunday a month or every week, there’s a spot where you’ll matter.
