“Build It and They Will Come”

Sanctuary Fire Renovations

We are excited to announce the launch of the first phase of our giving campaign, “Build It and They Will Come.” This phase will support the building, audio, and media design costs to upgrade and restore the sanctuary, lobby, and restrooms following the fire on April 30th. Your contribution will directly support the design phase. Prayerfully consider giving a donation beyond your regular giving by the end of the year.

Your support matters!

Update

Back Story

On the early morning of Sunday, April 28, 2024, our sanctuary experienced a fire that caused interior and exterior damage. Due to structural, water, and smoke damage, we temporarily moved service to the South Worship Center located on campus.

We moved from one service to two services, 8:30am and 10:30am. Zoe Kids Church is currently available for both services. Youth Church (Synergy) is on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays at 10:30 am. Until the restoration and construction process are complete, we will retain this schedule until further notice.

In the above left video, Dr. Joshua (current senior pastor) explains the temporary transition from the main sanctuary to the South Worship Center. In the above right video, Bishop Ed (founding pastor) describes his original vision for the church beginning as small groups and the construction project vision God gave him to describe how he would continue to build this church. In an ironic twist during this construction project, Build It and They Will Come, Zoe Center is simultaneously rebuilding a small group model for our congregation slated to launch in the spring of 2025.

Below are images for the reconstruction of the sanctuary and lobby.

The 10:30 am service will be live-streamed as usual.

Prayer, Volunteer, Financial Support

Thank you for your willingness and heart to partner with our church community during this time. Below we have identified key areas for prayer, volunteer, and financial support.

Prayer Support

As believers, we are admonished to pray, especially in times of crisis. During this transitional period, we are asking for continued prayer over five key areas:

1. Safety and protection (Campus and Whittier Area)

Prayer Point: Protection
Scripture: Psalms 46:1 – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2. Structural restoration (Campus)

Prayer Point: Rebuilding and Restoration
Scripture: Haggai 2:9 – “…’The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declare the Lord of hosts.’”

3. Favor with all companies and county agencies involved in the renovation process

Prayer Point: Favor
Scripture: Psalm 90:17 – Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!

4. Prayer for leadership and staff

Prayer Point: Peace, Wisdom, and Rest
Scripture: Philippians 4:19 – And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Volunteer Support

Our ministry has expanded our service times and operations to accommodate the needs of our congregation. During this period, we are inviting our church community to partner with us through serving as we continue to address key areas of our ministry. We have highlighted ministry areas for our church community to get involved in. If you are interested in any of these ministry areas or in an area that was not specified, please complete the interest form below.

Scripture: Ephesians 6:7-8 – Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

Volunteers

Children Ministry Volunteers (8:30am/10:30am services).

Serve in Volunteer Area as Needed

Financial Support

As our sanctuary is under structural restoration, we are tending to the impacted areas and supporting the impending demands of this incident. Your financial participation allows us to thrive and ensures continual maintenance of the ministry’s needs.

Scripture: Exodus 36:1-7 – “Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”

And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.” So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.”

Financial partnership towards this incident addresses:

1. Vendor/Staff/Volunteer Support (refreshments, gifts of appreciation, thank you cards)

2. Non-Insured Expenses
