Vision & Hope Fundraising Banquet

Building a Legacy for Generations to Come

Join us for an evening of music, vision, and purpose at the historic Château Élan as we lay the foundation for the future of Auburn, Georgia.

The Vision

Where Vision Becomes Reality

For over 33 years, our church has faithfully served the city of Auburn from the same corner. Today, that very location is becoming part of a new downtown development designed to bring vibrant community life to the heart of the city.

As this transformation moves forward, we are making a prayerful and strategic transition. We have secured a new parcel of land just one block away — a place where we will build a new church and continue serving the community for generations to come.

For the City

This moment represents a unique opportunity to add to the city, not take from it. Our move allows the redevelopment of our current corner to advance Auburn’s vision for growth.

For the Ministry

A new facility will expand our outreach, community programs, and service impact in ways our current building no longer allows.

Just One Block Away

We are not leaving our community; we are planting deeper roots. The new location is strategically positioned right next to the Downtown Expansion Area, ensuring we remain in the heart of Auburn's growth.

Downtown Expansion Area

Our current location is part of the city's visionary redevelopment plan.

Future Church & Community Center

A dedicated, expanded campus to serve our growing congregation and city.
