What’s the Latest? 

We hope this page serves as a valuable resource for you, and we will update it regularly as developments occur. In the interest of transparency, we are committed to keeping you informed.

Things are progressing rapidly on the ground, and we are thrilled to witness God working in powerful and unexpected ways. This gives us confidence that He who began a good work is faithful.

Here’s what we know so far:

  • We have successfully finalized the sale with the Pentecostals of Gainesville.
  • Our initial due diligence for The Family Church expired on January 10th. After that date, the Pentecostals of Gainesville began their due diligence set for February 14th. However, they moved that date up to January 28th, which coincided with our signing of the sale agreement and acceptance of the final terms for the property.
  • We are set to close on The Family Church property on March 31st.
  • The exciting news is that The Family Church will be debt-free and will walk away with approximately $1.7 million after we pay off our existing mortgage of $2.65 million.
  • We have some important new dates to share, and we will discuss everything at our Town Hall meeting, which will take place at 11:30 AM on February 9th, right after our Vision Sunday service. You won’t want to miss it!
  • We are actively pursuing a new location and considering several different sites.

Please continue to be faithful through the remainder of the 21 days of prayer and fasting. God is still at work, and there’s so much to anticipate!
