Accepted Answer

Yes! One Church will remain open throughout the duration of the campaign.

Question 5

What is the difference between keep up the good work and expand the good work?

Accepted Answer

Keep up the good work refers to your regular giving. Leviticus 27:30 “A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord's, and is holy.” And Proverbs 3:9 (NIV) says, “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops.” 
Expand the good work refers to your financial commitment to the Next is Now campaign. This goes beyond your tithe and gives you the chance to partner with God to expand what He is doing here at One Church.

Question 6

If I cannot give financially at this time, is there any other way I can help?

Accepted Answer

As construction begins, there will be new serve opportunities. We will communicate these needs with you in the next few months with links to sign up. 
Prayer is the biggest thing we can ask! Pray continuously over the church, our staff, the project itself and everyone the new campus will impact.
