Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

I want to give you a little bit of an update on expansion at Gateway Church and where we are,

and talk about each campus last year about this time.

We were entering into a capital campaign. Remember, we called it Now is the Time.

We found out and marched. Now it's not the time.

And I'm the one that came up with that title. Praise the Lord.

So the God in heaven said, nope, not the time.

So we pulled back from that. We will still eventually do some renovations to the South Lake campus.

We do need to do some things for, we need more classroom space.

We would like a wedding chapel. We do need some space for our young adults and youth and a sanctuary for them.

In between spaces, between the 4,000 seats sanctuary and 200 seat classrooms.

So we do need to do that, but we don't feel like this is the time to do that.

But what we're going to do is we'll go back to where we just give a good faith estimate of whatever we're going to give over and above our tide.

No pressure on anyone. I don't want you to ever feel that.

And we're using it for expansion. So we're moving ahead right now.

I want to tell you some of the things that we're doing in the campuses.

Every campus we're doing something and every campus, or we've been doing something for a couple of years that maybe you don't know about.

So the first thing I want to tell you about is the Frisco campus.

That was an existing church and became a campus a few years ago.

And 600 seats sanctuary five acres. We bought 12 acres beside it.

We start in April on a brand new 69,000 square foot facility.

1200 seat to do that for Frisco. So pay Frisco.
