What’s Next? Progress Update #1
We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been incredibly encouraged by what God is already doing through the What’s Next? initiative. We’ve seen a huge influx of new commitments, along with several incredibly generous gifts that have moved us forward in a significant way.
Every commitment—large or small—reminds us that this isn’t about equal gifts, but about people saying yes to what God is building next.
As we’ve said from the beginning…
We don’t just live what God started—we build what’s next.
Project Update
We’ve also made some exciting progress behind the scenes.
Our architects have now completed the final building plans (after we had to make some necessary tweaks), and we’re preparing to move into the next phase of the project.
Over the next several weeks we’ll begin requesting updated bids from multiple contractors, continue conversations with our lending partners, and move closer to establishing a construction timeline.
Every one of these steps brings us closer to creating more room for people to experience hope throughout the Tri-State.
Please continue praying for wisdom, favor, and unity (and any other churchy word I could think of lol) as we move through these exciting next steps.

Celebrate
One of our favorite moments this week came from Kidz Club.
Throughout the summer, we’ve continued serving kids through weekly field trips, museums, hikes, meals, and relationships that are making a lasting impact.
This week one child simply said,
“Kidz Club is my favorite day every week of summer.”
Moments like that remind us why we’re building What’s Next.
Because we’re not creating more room for buildings…
We’re creating more room for stories like this.
Thank you for believing in the vision of C3 and for helping us build something that will impact lives for generations to come.
We are for the Tri-State. Always have been. Always will be.
beyond grateful,
Trent
