ABOUT waves of gratitude 2.0
Hello CCAC Family,
God has richly blessed and led us over the many decades. As a reminder of God’s “Ripples of Grace”, God blessed us with the St. Stephen's Church in 2018 through the generous support of our congregation, the Ripples of Grace Fundraiser (2009-2012), and the sale of the Roscoe Blvd campus (2020). We completed an extensive 3-phase remodel (Phase 1-3) and reconstruction project of the St. Stephen's Church in 2019. CCAC moved in 2019 and has been growing and blessed by God over these three years.
As you may know, we needed to delay Phase 4 for three years due to COVID-19 and put development on pause. We have been growing into our new facility well and want to invest in CCAC’s future growth. During 2023-2025, we had the Waves of Gratitude Capital Campaign that was instrumental in helping the church during a period of building plan and permit submissions and approvals. The faithfulness of our church to give to the building fund during these years helped us get to where we are today.
Now with the approval of the building permit, the time is right to begin this expansion and beautification project with a growing need for classrooms, staff offices, fellowship space and security. Lord willing, through the generous giving and sacrifice of our CCAC family, we will see this vision of Phase 4 realized through the Living Waters of Hope Capital Campaign.
The LIVING WATERS OF HOPE focuses our hearts on the true living water that Jesus promises to all who believe. This is a season of spiritual investment because we want everyone to come to Jesus and be satisfied in Him.
What is the vision of Phase 4?
Our mission is to transform our world and community by being disciples who make disciples who make disciples. The vision of this two fold project will advance the ministry of outreach and discipleship to children, adults, and families.
There are two parts to this project:
1. NEW CONSTRUCTION of the DISCIPLESHIP COMMONS BUILDING
2-STORY 7,000 SF place of welcome and encouragement at a cost of $3 Million:
2. NEW DISCIPLESHIP COURTYARD (CAMPUS LANDSCAPING and SECURITY) with a cost of $2 Million:
Please participate by praying:
What is our goal to raise for Phase 4?
Goal of this campaign is to raise $3 Million over 3 years.
How can we give and pledge to the Living Waters of Hope Capital Campaign?
Thank you for your engagement through prayer and giving to the Phase 4 vision. GB members are available to answer any questions. May God continue to bless and watch care over you.
