We are Rising Up this summer for kids and teens! If you drive by our campus, in the heart of Anderson Township, you will see lots of construction in the front. We are making significant facility updates, particularly in our Kids Ministry area, as we shift our focus to reaching more families with kids and teenagers. Our updates include creating a playground for families in the community to use any time! Here is what the outdoor spaces will look like later this summer!
Over the last few years, our congregation and ministries have grown significantly. The results of this comprehensive campaign will only propel us further toward our vision of becoming a church where young families feel at home and can develop a deeply grounded faith.
This is one of those great moments in our history where God is going to do something powerful, and I can’t wait to experience it together!
Rising Up with You,
Pastor Jon
Rise Up-Construction Updates
Rise Up- The Vision
Opportunities
Thanks to God’s provision and the wisdom of generations of visionary leaders, we are blessed to have one of the best locations in the center of Anderson Township. Over 40,000 cars drive past our front yard daily. What a gift! With that being said, what our first impression says about us is really important. When people look at the front of our building, they only see part of our story: a beautiful, well-kept, traditional church.
We want our community to know that Anderson Hills is a place where families with kids and teens can get plugged in, find community, and grow in their faith. A place where their children can learn, grow, thrive, and have fun! In order to communicate this message to our neighborhood, we need to make some major updates. Here’s what lies ahead...
