A season of generosity | September to December
Creating excellence in the house of God to reflect the excellence of our God.
Why now
The flood left real damage in our building. Heart for the House is our chance to restore it together, and to keep building a church home that's ready for every person God brings through our doors.
Our first goal is covering the $75,000 cost of the flood repairs.
As gifts come in, we'll put them to work on the rest of the list below.
We'll update the progress bars here all season long, so you can see what your generosity is building.
Six projects and one big dream. Click on any item to see what it is and why it matters.
First priority
This is where it starts. The flood left real damage in our building, and covering the cost of the repairs is our first priority. Your giving pays for water mitigation, new drywall and paint, new carpet, and a replacement A/C unit, so we can close this chapter and keep our focus on ministry.
Excellence in
Our auditorium is one of the most important ministry spaces at Thrive. Every week, hundreds of people gather here for Sunday services, ELEVATE, Flourish, and special events, and the room transforms to serve each one. All that use has taken a toll, and our carpet and stage now need urgent repair.
We also want to keep creating an excellent, engaging space for people to encounter Jesus, which is why an LED wall is one of our next priorities. Your giving helps us care for what God has already entrusted to us and prepares this room for the hundreds, and one day thousands, of people we believe will walk through our doors.
Excellence online
For most people, the first step into Thrive happens on a phone. Our website and app are the front door of our church, and both are ready for an upgrade. Your giving builds an online home that makes a great first impression and helps people take their next step, whether that's planning a visit, watching a message, or joining a group.
Excellence in
Our 3rd to 5th grade room is one of the hardest-working spaces at Thrive. On Sundays, it's where our kids grow in their faith. During the week, it serves SEU students, interns, staff, and Thrive Groups.
Right now, this room needs flexible, portable furniture to reach its full potential. Your giving creates a space that shifts quickly from kids ministry to classroom, meeting room, or group space, so one room can serve hundreds of people every week.
Excellence in
Our main areas and cafe are where Sunday conversations happen, first-time guests are welcomed, and friendships grow over a cup of coffee. These high-traffic spaces need repairs and updates. Your giving brings new flooring to our main areas, a new cafe counter, and cafe improvements, so everyone who walks in feels welcome and at home.
Excellence in
Our offices are more than a workspace. They're a hub for ministry all week long. We lost several desks and pieces of furniture during the flood renovation, and we need to rebuild before our busy fall season.
Four SEU college students work here every day, our school-year interns are starting, and every Sunday this space becomes headquarters for our Dream Team. Your giving replaces desks and adds flexible, movable furniture so we can equip students, develop leaders, support our staff, and serve our Dream Team every week.
The big dream
Imagine a church with more room to say yes. Getting debt free creates more financial margin for ministry today, and for whatever future expansion God leads us toward.
Heart for the House
Whether you give once or throughout the season, you're helping create a church home that reflects the excellence of our God. Heart for the House is open for giving now through December.
