So, what is Act 2 Thrive all about?

Watch the vision message!

Act 2 Thrive Update - November 2021

“(They were) praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”

Acts 2:47

So, how do we plan to reach our community?

INVESTING IN OUR CHILDREN & STUDENTS

Improving safety, visual and program excitement by updating and enhancing our children and student ministry areas. We’ll see vibrant decor, interactive learning centers, and a designated youth space, where our future generations can grow and thrive with the heart of Jesus.

CONNECTING & SERVING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

Connecting and serving our wider community through a brand new Community Center and Café, Neighborhood Ambassadors from CtK, Community Fun Nights & Family Partnerships. Our new café, indoor playground, and event space will help CtK stand out as a thriving gathering place for our community.

Welcome a diverse community into the presence of God

Creating a deeper sense of the presence of God by refreshing and upgrading our current worship center. Enhancing the visual appeal, updating technology, and installing a baptismal area. All of these will serve to provide an attractive, comfortable environment where we can worship together and celebrate God’s work in our lives and the local community.

So, why now?

The southwest and surrounding areas of Charlotte, Fort Mill and Lake Wylie are rapidly growing. The facilities of CtK are aging and need critical updates, renovation, and security. The wider community has no common places for safe, family friendly gatherings. CtK Church is positioned to meet these growing needs and be in the heart and center of the community. Now is the time engage our community like never before. We will act so that that the church and community thrive in the heart and love of Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the estimated cost of the ministry advances, staffing and facility upgrades?
Q: How much would our facility debt increase?
Q: How will we meet this $2.5 million goal?

A: Each person at CtK will have the opportunity to pledge and give toward this appeal. Since we want to pay this in cash and not increase our debt, we will need to give generously from the cash, assets or savings from which God has uniquely blessed us. We are praying that each would consider his/her blessing and pray and he/she might leave a legacy and help secure the future impact of CtK Church. Gifts can come from stocks, bonds, real property, retirement plans, insurance policies or cash.
Q: When would construction start?
Q: Can we begin some of the Act2Thrive program initiatives before the facility is completed?
Q: How long is the A2T pledge appeal period?

A: A pledge is a financial faith commitment toward the A2T outreach initiative. A pledge lets the church know what can be anticipated to pay for the construction and program. You can also simply give a special financial gift above your regular ministry giving to help with this special outreach. A pledge can be over a three-year period. However, we will want to continue to fund this outreach with special gifts until the renovations and expansions are paid for.
Q: How will this appeal affect our general giving?
Q: Will older people have a place at CtK Church with so much emphasis on families and children?
Q: If there is a Community Center and Café’ open all the time will my children be safe in preschool and church?

A: Like schools, churches are public space. Anyone can come on campus at any time. Having a Community Center will positively increase our impact on the community. At the same time, we will need to ensure the safety of our children meeting in classes. With the new renovations and construction these concerns will have top priority. Preschool and Sunday Children’s Ministry will have secure zones that are easily lockable with cameras and security.
Q: Will the Café charge for food and drink?
