The Requirements to Build

Building requires patience.

The ministry was founded in 2007. We did not acquire land to build until 2021. Yet, the promise remained the same: “You will build from the ground up.”

We endured the trials of commercial leases, poor building management, and countless other valley moments along the way for 15 years. The promise remained: “You will build from the ground up.”

We moved from building to building. We kept renting spaces. We kept servicing the community. We kept doing ministry, remembering the unchanged promise: “You will build from the ground up.”

As thousands of other churches did, we maneuvered to online worship services. We realigned internally; we sought God sincerely.

God doesn’t always perform when we think He should. He doesn’t consistently deliver instantly (though He can). He doesn’t always open doors when we feel ready to walk through them.

We’re encouraged to wait patiently on the Lord. He strengthens us to hold on as we wait until the promise is fulfilled (Psalm 27:14).

We’re always waiting for something; in lines, for promotion, for a spouse, news, etc, but waiting for God, waiting patiently for the manifestation of promise, is always worth the time it took.

Building requires supervision.

We are not building haphazardly.

We are not careless with our tools. We have not negotiated shady deals.

All partners, construction, and design teams are building according to the vision and strategies given to us by God.

As the Lord leads, we lead the people. As God shepherds the process, our leaders supervise the people.

No area is uncovered.
No plan is left undone.
No promises are left unkept.

Building requires vision.

Write the vision and make it plain (Habakkuk 2:2).

We’re not making up plans as we go. God downloaded ideas for a custom sanctuary, men’s vocation school, women’s transitional home, senior care facility, after-school program and more from day one.

Vision requires seeing without sight. The blueprint comes before the build.

Some #TKHC blueprint points include:

🔹International music for worship services (for future members from other nations)
🔹Training in prayer and leadership (for the many pastors, ministers, and community stakeholders that will develop here)
🔹Visiting nursing homes and engaging with the senior population (so that Cobb County residents will know a safe place for the elderly care is coming)
