budget 2026

As we step into the second quarter of the year, our focus is simple: strengthening the foundation God is building among us.

From January to March, we saw new households step into recurring generosity, a clear sign that momentum is growing. Now our hope is to continue that movement — inviting more households to step into recurring giving, not from pressure, but through participation.

For some, that may mean starting a recurring gift.
For others, it may mean prayerfully increasing what you already give.
And for many, it may mean continuing faithfully.

Every step matters. Every household strengthens the whole. So as we enter this quarter, we simply ask:

“Lord, what is my next faithful step to participate in what You are building here?”

Love,

The Elders Board

You can adjust your monthly giving amount, or sign up for recurring giving, by clicking this link. You can also donate using text-to-give.

rodriguez meal train

We want to welcome baby Enzo Kai Rodriguez into the world by providing hot meals for his family as they transition into this new chapter. You can make a dinner to deliver or donate a gift card to support mother Kiana and Enzo’s four big siblings. Follow the link below to sign up and show them some love!

fuller meal train

We want to rally around the Fuller family as Hunter spends a few weeks recovering from emergency surgery. Sign up below to provide a hot meal, or a gift certificate, so there is one less thing to worry about for Nick, Hunter, and the girls.

ENNEAGRAM & RELATIONSHIPS

Are you aware of how much your personality shapes your relationships? Do you keep hitting the same walls in unrealized or unmet expectations in friendship, marriage, family? This workshop is designed to give you tools for self-awareness so you can love others better, and ask for love in return.

Join Ryan on Friday, May 29th from 6:30-9:30pm for a deep dive on the Enneagram and its ability to help us understand our connection to others. While basic knowledge of the Enneagram is not required, it may be helpful to have an understanding of your personality type to get the most out of this workshop.

Childcare will be provided based on need. Please fill out the form below to reserve your spot.

city beautiful youth

Our Greenhouse mission is to “raise children into living relationship with Jesus, and cultivate healthy families.” As our kids grow, we want to provide them with opportunities to be discipled at all stages of life, providing genuine moments of connecting, worship and learning about Jesus together. This summer we are launching our new youth group, for students from 6th to 12th grade.

Our initial meet-up will be on Monday, June 15th from 6:30 to 8:30pm at Keg Social (12850 Waterford Lakes Pkwy). This will be a time to meet our youth leaders, play games and eat good food together. Over the summer our students will join Summit Youth at their events, with breakout sessions led by our leaders Brad and Christina Hauer.

Sign up below for more information, or reach out directly to Sarah Faye Mulchan via Slack.

open tables

It has become an annual rhythm for us to pause community groups in the month of June, and host dinners around the city that promote the forging of new relationships in our community.

Open Tables will run from June 16th to 25th. When you sign up, you will be connected with a host home who will provide a good meal and space for conversation with people you may not know on a deep level yet.

Let us know below your interest, what part of town you live in, and any dietary restrictions you may have.

local/global organizations

Each Sunday during our series TIKKUN OLAM our LocalGlobal team highlighted an organization doing the good work in our city and beyond. Our hope is that you find a cause that resonates with you that you can support through finances and/or volunteering. All organizations are listed at the bottom of the LocalGlobal page:

generosity guide

If we care about God’s justice, we will reprioritize our time and resources to show it. To become more generous is to become more like God.

Below you will find a guide for organizing your finances to better align with God’s priorities. This is not a hard principle to follow, but rather a template that may help you think more deeply about where your money goes and why.

sabbath encouragement

We want to continue putting Sabbath practice front-and-center in our life of faith. Below you will find a handout that asks some questions to help you craft a Sabbath that emphasizes worship, rest, and delight. Take time in the coming weeks to journal your thoughts, or if you are married and/or have kids, talk through it together.
