In Spring 2021 Josh McPherson and Grace City Church leaders launched “Stage 3 Lift Off” of their building project on the 13 acres they own in the Sunnyslope neighborhood of Wenatchee, Washington.
They raised $4.5 million dollars in six months, according to McPherson.
Before that he and GCC leaders launched stage 2, titled “Building Home.” According to McPherson in a sermon on Nov. 22, 2021, that fundraising took place over the course of three years and they raised $7.1 million to construct the original building on the compound.
“This was over and above regular tithes and offerings,” McPherson said.
McPherson explained the fundraising goals set and exceeded at the end of the sermon. You can watch that section right here:
