As I look back over the years of our church, two words come to mind: Forward and Faith. Since Union Grove's beginning in 1946, we have been moving forward in faith on mission for Him. Our mission is simple: we exist to reach as many people as possible with the Gospel and to disciple them into becoming devoted followers of Jesus. We have been moving Forward in Faith following this mission since the beginning.

With that being said, I think that it is time for us to move Forward in Faith yet again. Let me tell you why: Currently, UGCS is maxed out with a waiting list of students trying to get into our school. There are limitations with building design and parking that hinder our church from growing and reaching more people with the Gospel. We have a gym that cannot accommodate the amount of people that attend our events. We are at a point where we are trying to do ministry to more people than our property can accommodate. This is why I feel that this is the time for us to move Forward in Faith.

We believe God would like us to build a multipurpose gymnatorium with an educational wing that would give us the room to expand UGCS by 250 students and an auditorium that would seat over 700 on Sundays. This would serve both our church and our school. We believe that this would be a great step in helping us to reach and disciple more people in this community. For us to see this vision become reality, we need your help. That is why I am asking you to partner with us as we move Forward in Faith.

We ask that you review the plan and pray about how you can partner with us, please remember one thing: Our vision is not about a building, it is about furthering the mission of our ministry. Our mission is to reach as many people as possible with the Gospel and to disciple them into becoming devoted followers of Jesus. That mission is what is driving us Forward in Faith.
We ask that you pray about how you can partner with us as we move forward in faith together.

The best is yet to come,
Pastor Josh Evans
