Caring for Our Campus:
Our campus is one of our most important resources, enabling us to impact lives, share our faith, and create a welcoming space where everybody is somebody. As our facilities continue to age, there are some much-needed upgrades to ensure our campus remains a welcoming and usable space. By caring for our campus, we are caring for the place God has entrusted to us.
Our campus also supports Ruach Community, our partner in local and global ministry. Their church and school in Liberia reach hundreds of children and families. Together, we worship and serve, sharing one mission across two communities.
Ministry Initiatives for 2026:
To meet the growing needs of the community in 2026, we need an additional $825 a week. With this increase, we plan to:
- Upgrade and refresh our church campus through special projects and upgrades. This will ensure our campus remains a welcoming and usable space.
Needed: $480 per week - Strengthen our relationship with Ruach Community by providing food for school children in Liberia, supporting Ruach Life Church in Liberia, and creating new ways to partner with Ruach Life Cypress.
Needed: $192 per week - Continue to offer impactful worship services, expand small group connections, invest in our staff, and support our neighbors near and far.
