Dear Calvary Church Family,

I regret that we are unable to meet with you all in person at this time due to an urgent family matter and a funeral in Mississippi that we will be attending. Because of these unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming in-person BEYOND Vision Meeting to a later date.


Rather than leaving you without an update, we wanted to provide this detailed newsletter so that you can stay informed about the exciting progress God is bringing to our church. While we certainly look forward to gathering together soon to celebrate, answer questions, and share the vision in person, I want to share some exciting updates regarding our church’s progress!

We are deeply grateful for the continued financial support! BEYOND Campaign funds are still coming in, and the sacrificial generosity presented by so many of you is truly a blessing. At the bottom of this newsletter (and available soon through Church Center) you will find the updated financial reports so you can see, firsthand, how God is providing and guiding every step.

PHASE ONE COMPLETE!

I am thrilled to report that our project’s first phase is now complete! One of the greatest blessings from this phase is the installation of an entirely new HVAC control system that will dramatically improve the efficiency of our facility. These upgrades are expected to make our heating and cooling system more than 70% more efficient, saving our church thousands of dollars each year in operating costs!

ANOTHER MIRACLE

Even more incredible is the generosity we have experienced along the way. The HVAC contractor graciously donated the controller itself, along with all of the labor required to install it and develop the online management interface, representing well over $10,000 in donated materials and services. What an incredible testimony of God's provision! We are continually reminded that when God's people step forward in faith, He faithfully opens doors, provides resources, and sends favor in ways we could never accomplish on our own.

NEXT STEPS

As we look forward, I want to emphasize that our next steps are committed to prayer and fasting. While we have benefited from consultants and professionals, such as Brad Oaster—well-known nationwide for designing and building remarkable churches, including Apostolic churches—we remain dependent on God's direction for what comes next.

YALE EXPANSION

As a reminder, part of this journey included the sale of a portion of our property along Yale Avenue. Since that time, we have been working closely with Arapahoe County and Xcel Energy as plans continue to develop for the expansion project and the improvements that will accompany it. One of the exciting components of the agreement is that the existing overhead power lines along Yale will be relocated underground. 

CURB APPEAL

While this is a tremendous long-term improvement for the appearance and infrastructure surrounding our campus, it also means the new electrical service associated with the underground conversion may require substantial upgrades to our church's electrical system. Although this represents additional work, it will ultimately provide increased electrical capacity, improved reliability, and a safer electrical infrastructure to support the future growth of our ministry.

UNSIGHTLY GAS PIPELINES

We are also encouraged that Xcel Energy has expressed plans to relocate the unsightly gas control equipment currently located in the lawn near the substation by placing those utilities underground as well. This would greatly improve the appearance of our campus entrance while further modernizing the surrounding infrastructure. Continue to pray that this happens sooner rather than later!  As these plans continue to move forward and more details become available, we will be sure to keep our church family informed every step of the way.


(Also, a massive thank you to Brother Chris Isom for helping to temporarily conceal this mess of pipes and weeds!)

THE FUTURE

We are closer than ever to seeing our vision become reality. The digital renderings we once dreamed about are beginning to take physical shape. Even as we await the final word on new Yale expansion infrastructure, we believe God has a purpose in this waiting time. He is unfolding new possibilities and growing us together as a congregation.

TRANSPARENCY

Transparency is very important to us. That’s why we are working on accessible ways for our members to view updates, photos, and details about our project’s progress, which will soon be available through Church Center in the BEYOND tab.

Let’s continue together with confidence and faith, knowing God is leading us from vision to victory. As always, do not hesitate to reach out to Pastor Don or the Admin Team if you have any questions. Thank you for your prayers, unity, and unwavering support during this exciting season!


With love,
