THE VISION:

We believe God is calling us to do something beyond us to reach people beside us.

This is a three-year generosity initiative focused on people, not projects, so more children, students, families, and neighbors can find and follow Jesus over the next 10 years.

Overall goal: 3-year commitments above regular giving (target: $15M).

KEY DATES:

• Series Begins September 28th
• Reading Through the Entire Bible- October 19th -October 22nd
• Advance Commitment and Worship Night — October 22nd
• Commitment Sunday – October 26th
• First and Best Sunday – December 7th

Who owns the Retirement Center?

• Church360. We will retain ownership (land is not being gifted). Operations and structure will be organized under Church360’s 501(c)(3) umbrella or a Church360-controlled 501(c)(3) if required by lenders or regulators.

Who owns the Hope Center?

• Church360 will own the facility. Programming is planned in a ministry rela:onship with Brother Bill’s. Final language may be refined pending donor/board requirements, but our intent is church ownership with a trusted partner operating day-to-day ministry.

Who owns the Day Care?

• Encourage Day Care owns and operates that entity. It will serve on our campus via an agreement that aligns with our mission.

Are we giving away church land?

• No. We are not gifting land. Parcels may be re-plaeed for zoning, but ownership remains with Church360. If a separate entity is needed, it would be a Church360-controlled 501(c)(3).

Does any of this jeopardize our non-profit status?

• No. The structures are designed as ministry relationships within a 501(c)(3) framework. If any project requires a separate entity, it will be a Church360-controlled 501(c)(3).

Are we doing this to make money?

• No—impact, not income. These projects are ministry investments intended to self- sustain operationally. Any net revenue is reinvested into mission—there are no profits distributed to the church.

How do we “benefit financially”?

• Through stewardship, not profit: covered operating costs, long-term sustainability, and freed resources to serve more people. The benefit is increased capacity for ministry.

Are we going into debt?

• We may secure financing to move at the pace of ministry need while running the three- year initiative to pay down/retire that debt aggressively.

Why not wait and pay cash only?

• Construction inflation outpaces waiting. (Example: 13,000 sq ft: $3.9M in 2021 at $300/sf vs $6.5M in 2025 at $500/sf.) Securing space now enables more people to hear about Jesus sooner, while the campaign pays down the note.

What’s the order of projects?

1. Hope Center
2. Bridge construction coordinated with the Retirement Center start
3. Sports area repairs (baseball/softball)
4. Grand Prairie family entrance / gathering spaces
5. Midlothian campus (planning already underway; longer lead due to city and site factors)

Note: Sequence reflects dependencies and readiness; schedules may adjust with city, partner, and funding milestones.

How will we staff the new ministry spaces?

A phased plan combining staff and volunteers. Anticipated needs include:

• Hope Center: Director + volunteer teams; partner-led programming (Brother Bill’s model)
• Facilities/Custodial: Coverage for Preschool, Hope Center, Chapel, and campus events
• Events: Weekday oversight of gathering spaces; Weddings/Funerals Coordinator
• Sports Areas: Scheduling & maintenance coordination

**Roles and timing will be aligned with project openings and budget.

How much should someone give?

• We are asking for 100% participation from our entire church family. We’re not asking for equal gifts but equal sacrifice, God sees the heart.

Is this just about buildings?

• No. Buildings are tools. BEYOND US is about people—shining our light (Matthew 5:16) so neighbors can find and follow Jesus.
