frequently asked questions

How long is the Living Proof Project going to last?
The Living Proof Project is scheduled to be a 36-month commitment.

Will we be asked to sign pledge cards?
Absolutely not! Each person and/or family will be asked to pray and ask God what He would have them to give each week over the next three years. The amount will be written on a card and returned with no name or signature. This will allow us to see the total level of commitment in order to plan and proceed as God leads His people.

Many members gave during the 40 weeks after our 40th Anniversary service at Reliant Arena and now are being asked to give again. Is it not asking too much of our church family to continue giving for three more years over and above their regular tithes and offerings?
If we believe that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and if we understand that none of us can give if God does not supply the resources, it should excite us that God has an opportunity to open the windows of Heaven and pour out blessings upon His children who are committed to showing a watching world that our God is a mighty God and always meets the needs of His children.

Do we really need more space and additional buildings to fulfill the purpose and challenge God has given to Sagemont Church?
Absolutely! We have reached a saturation point in many of our ministries and worship services. The future of our church is at stake.

How will our mission efforts be affected by this project?
Our giving to mission efforts will not go down one penny during the project, and the opportunities to participate in focused mission projects will continue to increase. Our focus is still on reaching out to our community and world, and the new building will only improve our ability to be effective in being living proof of a loving God to a
watching world.

What about my gifts to The Great Adventure and/or Funding the Vision?
The Living Proof Project is the new terminology for our capital expansion. Any gifts marked “The Great
Adventure” or “Funding the Vision” will be directed to the Living Proof Project.

What will happen to our current auditorium and adult education space?
We will continue to use all of our buildings to their fullest capabilities during the building program. Our Visionary Team will continue their feasibility study as to how to use our existing buildings when the new building is completed.
