Defining Moments is a two-year strategic giving initiative for the future of Christ Community Church and the kingdom in Gainesville. We plan to develop the rest of our property and to build an addition to our current building. We want to create a space for others to be invited to Christ’s banquet while also holding on to the distinctives that have made Christ Community such a beautiful place to belong.

Update on Defining Moments:

Construction continues to make great progress throughout the new building! Inside, the fire alarm system is scheduled to be installed this week, while the electrician continues troubleshooting throughout the building to ensure everything is working properly. Final painting has been completed, the plumber is working to finish installation of the hot water heater and remaining toilets, and installation of window shades is beginning.

In the coming weeks, we’re looking forward to seeing even more finishing touches take shape, including the installation of wood ceiling tiles above the café, interior wood doors, wood flooring, and the completion of the remaining cabinet work.

Outside, crews are boxing in the newly added fire sprinkler pipe. We’re also looking forward to the steel beams being enclosed in the coming weeks.

We’re grateful for the continued progress and excited to see each of these finishing details bring us another step closer to completion!

Defining Moments Stories

Expanding Our Facilities

Not only are we making room for the growth we’ve experienced over the past several years, but we are building something for generations to come. We’ve been intentional about designing a space that suits us in a unique way and fits this vision for what we are becoming. Download our digital booklet to learn more.

An Addition

Our consultants and design team have provided a solution for our growth that will not require us to move out of our current facilities or interrupt weekly worship services. This addition will also allow us to develop the second half of our property.

Room for Hospitality

We long to create room for hospitality. An expanded lobby and patio will create ample space to gather, while additional bathrooms, meeting space for adults and children's check-in areas will facilitate more possibilities for connection.

A Sanctuary

The addition includes a 600-seat sanctuary. When we first developed our property, we constructed a large room that was deliberately multi-purpose. This space, where we have worshipped each Sunday since 2010, can now be designated as multi-purpose.

Get Involved

We hope that this spring will be a time of spiritual renewal for Christ Community Church. With God's help, we will continue to grow through this initiative. These are ways to engage with Defining Moments:

Pray

Leadership has been praying over this for many months, and we ask everyone to join us in seeking God's face. The campaign booklet provides prayer prompts for each week.

Envision

From January 21 to February 25, we had a sermon series on "Feasting with Jesus." These weeks helped illustrate the need and opportunity that we have as a church in this defining moment. Explore the series here.
