Immeasurably MORE

Gloria Dei |

"Now to Him who is able to do IMMEASURABLY MORE than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV



What is the IMMEASURABLY MORE Capital Campaign?

Based on Ephesians 3:20-21, we believe that God can do IMMEASURABLY MORE than we could ever ask or imagine. These verses are part of a prayer where Paul is asking for spiritual growth for the congregation at Ephesus, but it also applies to Gloria Dei. This campaign is about “raising people” in that we see God doing IMMEASURABLY MORE in the growth and faith of those participating. As God raises our faith and trust in Him, we pray that the response will be IMMEASURABLY MORE than we could ask or imagine through the generosity of God’s people. This campaign is a strategic focus for our Kids, Student, and Family ministries, while addressing infrastructure issues, updates and repairs. This campaign is about:

  • Ministry Expansion
  • Opportunities for Growth
  • Reaching our Community
  • Equipping Disciples

The overall financial goal of this campaign is the raise $5.5 million, above and beyond our annual operating budget, over a 3 ½ year period.


What is Our Vision?

This campaign aims to invest in Gloria Dei's future for our kids, students, and families, enhancing their faith and navigating through a changing culture. We seek to expand our venue to better disciple and equip families to live out their calling as followers of Jesus and impact their communities for His kingdom. Imagine everyone at Gloria Dei fully understanding and living out being fully alive in God's grace, sharing that with their surrounding neighbors and community!


What is the goal of IMMEASURABLY MORE?

We want to raise $5.5 million over the next 3.5 years, which will be split between the following areas:

  • 10% External Missions
  • 10% Debt Reduction
  • 80% Ministry expansion updates

Capital Campaign Updates

Main Entrance Closed Through September
Main Entrance Closed Through September

The worn-out, beat-up, dilapidated overhang (aka porte cochere) is being torn down and a new overhang is being built. However, during the construction, the Life Center entrance will be closed due to demolition and build. Access through the Life Center doors is closed through the month of September. 

The Worship center doors will be the best and easiest accessible entrance to the Worship Center. We will also open the Kidzspace entrance door (on the other side of the chiller yard) to access the Life Center and Kids area. The Chapel entrance is still closed for the construction of our new Chapel area bathrooms. Yes, this is an inconvenience! But, it is also very exciting! Thanks for all your support and flexibility.

As seen in this photo, workers dug out 20 feet of dirt to repair broken sewer lines in preparation for the new chapel restroom.

Demolition will continue this week in the Life Center, chapel bathrooms and the mother’s room next to the worship center coffee area. Next week, we may begin to see the moving of walls that will create the new chapel bathrooms. 

Construction has begun at Gloria Dei

Construction has begun in three areas of our main building: First, the chapel bathrooms are now closed as well as the outside entry by the chapel for the rest of the summer.

Second, the Kids open area in front of Kids (K through 4) is a small construction area. Do not for any reason enter the area that is walled off with heavy plastic. There will be a man-made temporary hallway from the Life Center to Kids and the bathrooms made by this Friday at the end of day. The name tag printer will be on a cart in front of the bathrooms.

Third, the Mother’s room is temporarily closed as we rebuild a new room.

Thank you for your patience as we continue the renovations with funds contributed to our Immeasurably More Capital Campaign!
