There Is More is a church-wide journey to inspire us to live and give beyond ourselves. This journey includes a six-week message series, small group experience, and daily devotional. No matter where we are in our walk with Christ, He’s always encouraging and inspiring each of us to take our next step and do our part in reaching people and building community.

Together, we’ll grow in our relationship with God and build our faith as we look beyond where we are to infinitely more. Join us as we discover that there is more God wants to do in our faith, family, church, and community.

PROJECT DETAILS

With unprecedented growth in all ministry areas of our church campus, there is certainly cause for celebration!

However, with the continued growth comes challenges that can impact our first-time guest experience and ultimately influence how we reach people in Youngsville and surrounding areas. To continue caring for every person who walks in the doors at Youngsville Community Church  facilities need to be updated, improved, and expanded upon in a substantial way.

 There is More is an all-church campaign designed to meet the $1.7M needed to fund the expansion project and renovations which will allow us to complete the project by early 2025.

  • Expand existing auditorium from 180 seats to 300 (2,292 sq. ft.)

  • Add three additional children’s classrooms (2,540 sq. ft.)

  • Add children’s restrooms in children’s area

  • Close in current drive through for additional common space (930 sq. ft.)

  • Add new covered drive through

  • Add additional parking

YOUR OPPORTUNITY

The There Is More campaign is a three-year journey designed to meet the need for various expansion project. We recognize this God-sized task is far beyond the ability of any one person, but everyone can do something.

Reaching our need of $1.7 million to secure financing will take all of us. The Pledge Card you will receive during this series is a challenge to be prayerfully and financially involved in the vision of the There Is More campaign by making a financial pledge over a period of time towards this vision.

You will have the opportunity to make a pledge commitment over and above your regular tithes. We will all return our pledges together during services on Pledge Sunday (February 25). The following week is Miracle Offering Sunday (March 3), where we will all bring our best cash gift towards our total pledge. This is a part of your overall commitment to the project. All gifts received that weekend will go directly to the cash on hand we need to kick start these projects.

As you pray about how much God might want you to give, we encourage you to embrace this as a spiritual journey with God. The amounts will differ for each person, but everyone can do something by completing a pledge card and returning it during Pledge Sunday.

To help visualize your pledge's impact over time, reference the chart. Individually each of us will make an impact, but when we do it together, we will leave an even greater legacy that will impact generations to come.

CREATIVE WAYS TO GIVE

Gifts In-kind / Appreciable Assets Stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets provide ample giving opportunities coupled with considerable tax savings. Our Finance Team will help you donate appreciable assets, give stocks in certifi cate form, and make broker-to-broker transfers to optimize charitable contribution benefi ts and capital gains savings

Automatic Contributions By signing up for online giving, either through your bank or our website, you can ensure your gift is automatically transferred on the day(s) of your choosing. This is an easy way to make your giving hassle-free and consistent.

Cash Flow Gifts You can give significantly by contributing smaller amounts at higher frequencies. Weekly, bi-monthly or monthly giving allows substantial gifts to be reached in smaller steps.
