The Journey Begins
Launch of the congregation's four-year public Bible Reading Journey, beginning with Genesis 1 and laying the spiritual foundation for Vision 2030.

More than a building. A shared commitment to becoming the church God is calling us to be — spiritually grounded, united in purpose, and prepared to serve generations to come.
Be the Church. Build the Church.

Support Vision 2030 The Heart of Vision 2030
More Than a Building
Vision 2030 is not centered on a building for its own sake. It is about preparing Good News Chapel to become the church capable of sustaining and faithfully stewarding that space.
This means growing together spiritually, developing a lasting culture of stewardship, including the congregation in shaping our future, and investing wisely in the people and systems that support ministry.
The Question That Guides Us
What kind of church must we become in order to faithfully steward the facility we are asking God to provide?
Our Shared Journey
Three Defining Milestones
From spiritual preparation to groundbreaking and construction, these milestones guide the journey toward 2030.
Groundbreaking
Planned groundbreaking for the new church facility during Good News Chapel's 35th anniversary celebrations, following years of preparation and shared commitment.
Construction Completion
Targeted completion of the new Good News Chapel church facility, designed to support worship, ministry, fellowship, and service to future generations.
Groundbreaking and construction completion are planned Vision 2030 milestones.
The Foundation of Our Future
Four Pillars. One Vision.
Vision 2030 is built on four interdependent commitments. Each strengthens the others, preparing Good News Chapel for sustainable ministry. Select a pillar to explore its purpose and how you can participate.
Pillar 01 · Our Foundation
Spiritual Formation
Before we expand physically, we must deepen spiritually.
Spiritual Formation cultivates biblical literacy, personal and collective spiritual growth, shared theological identity, and congregational unity.
At its heart is a four-year public Bible Reading Journey through all 1,189 chapters of Scripture, bringing the congregation together through shared reading and reflection.
Join the Journey
Follow the Bible Reading Plan with the congregation.
Key Commitments
- Public reading of Scripture, Genesis to Revelation.
- Biblical literacy, spiritual growth, and congregational unity.
- Participation across Action Units, ministries, and generations.
Bible Reading Journey:
June 6, 2026 – August 25, 2029.
Pillar 02 · Shared Stewardship
Sustainable Funding
A fundraising campaign has an end. A culture of stewardship endures.
Sustainable Funding establishes durable financial systems through communal savings, systematic giving, and PIE — Projects, Initiatives and Events.
Shared generosity and responsible income generation support the building project while strengthening ministry for generations to come.

Pillar 03 · A Shared Voice
Intentional Inclusion
Our new facility should be shaped by the people it serves.
Intentional Inclusion ensures that the new facility is not simply designed for the congregation, but developed through its meaningful participation.
Consultation, vision framing, concept development, feedback, and design endorsement help shape a facility that reflects the church's identity, mission, and calling.
The Design Journey
- Gather voices through congregational consultation.
- Develop the vision, design brief, and architectural concepts.
- Build consensus toward formal design endorsement.
Design status:
The 2022 architectural concept
is a starting point subject
to evaluation and endorsement.
Pillar 04 · Preparing for Tomorrow
Strategic Investment
Strengthening our capabilities today so we can faithfully steward tomorrow.
Strategic Investment develops the physical, technological, operational, and human resources necessary for sustainable ministry.
The roadmap advances from infrastructure and safety improvements to technology, training, leadership development, and stronger organizational systems.
Investment Roadmap
- 2026: Infrastructure and safety.
- 2027: Tools and technology.
- 2028: People and systems.
2029–2030:
Planned construction phase,
leading toward the targeted
December 2030 completion.
Why these pillars matter: They are not four separate projects. Together, they provide a coordinated pathway toward a stronger church and a sustainable future.
The Future Facility
A Space Designed for Ministry
The future Good News Chapel facility is envisioned as more than a place to gather each week. It represents an opportunity to create welcoming, adaptable spaces that support worship, discipleship, fellowship, creative ministry, wellness and service to the wider community.

A Vision Shaped Together
The Design Is Not Yet Final
An initial architectural concept was developed in 2022, before the current Vision 2030 congregational design process. The concept provides a useful starting point, but the proposed layout, facilities and specifications remain subject to evaluation, consultation, refinement and formal congregational endorsement.
