New Grace City Church Publication Outlines $12 Million Fundraising Goal, Expansion Plans
And a recent email details how much GCC children have donated ahead of 'Commitment Weekend' this Sunday
A new booklet released by Grace City Church’s publishing house sets the “miracle goal” of GCC’s new fundraising campaign at $12 million and outlines what the money will go to locally, regionally and nationally.
GCC’s new church plant in Rome, Georgia will get $500,000 and the children of the congregation have already made a large dent in that, according to GCC Pastor Adam James in an Oct. 23 email. The youngest among them “stormed their piggy banks and searched the couch cushions” to come up with $3,3041.30.
The fourth through sixth graders did the same and came up with $3,460.
But the junior high and high school students came through big time.
“They leveraged birthday money, summer job savings, and various creative fundraising efforts to go above and beyond in contributing $177,378.81!!!” James wrote.
The amount raised by the children of the congregation was released ahead of “Commitment Weekend” this Sunday and James instructed GCC members to prepare to have their hearts “stirred to prayerfully follow in their steps this week.”

The new booklet goes into detail about what the rest of the $12 million will go to, and how much will be used to further grow GCC’s Sunnyslope compound.
What was once a proposed 12,000 square foot “Children’s Training Space” which GCC pastor Kyle Strong told City of Wenatchee Hearing Examiner Andrew Kottkamp would only be used on Sunday mornings has expanded to a 22,000 square foot “schoolhouse” for GCC’s new K-12 five-day school called “Garden City Academy.”
A recording studio, Vector lecture halls and an “Adventure Play Land” will also be built if GCC can reach its “miracle goal.”
