What is the NOW Project?
The NOW Project is a movement within the Body of Grace Church to make room for more people to hear the Good New of Jesus Christ. Knowing that He alone is the hope of the world, we as a church are committed to growing His Kingdom here on earth. We believe that one very effective way to share that hope is by bringing people together in one place where we can teach the Gospel. To do that, we need room for those people.
The vision of the NOW Project, making room for people to hear the gospel, is a vision that is fixed and unchanging. Everything else that falls under the NOW Project umbrella must work toward that vision, that unchanging goal.
There are several strategies under that umbrella, several tools that we are pursuing to accomplish that goal of and kingdom growth personal transformation for the cause of Christ. These strategies can change as economics and situations change but must always fall under the fixed and unchanging vision of the NOW Project.
Our initial strategy for growth began as a new Worship Center on Robb Drive. After much prayer, the NOW Project Team pursued this strategy by completing the parking lot and designing a larger building with both of Grace’s two communities’ needs in mind. Then, the Economic Crisis unfolded and made breaking ground on that building impossible. Due the tightening credit market and the unstable financial markets, our strategy has to change. Although the Building remains a real need, and we confidently hope to build, we must look at interim strategies to facilitate growth until that time that God allows us to build.
We are considering several alternate strategies that include video venues and increasing service offerings at our current campuses. In the meantime, we are using NOW Project receipts to pay down existing debt, putting us in the best position to act on those strategies at the time God ordains.
NOW Project pledges are key in this whole process. To continue to pursue the goal of the NOW Project, we must have adequate funding. Each NOW Partner must continue to finish their pledge if able, those of use who can need to help those of us who can’t, and those who are new to Grace need to seek God to find what their place in this endeavor.
The NOW Project remains a great work for God. The need remains urgent…we must continue to follow His lead and finish what He has started.
