Heart for the House: Make Room for More

For more than 12 years, God has been building something special at Pearl St. Church. Lives have been changed, families restored, and our city impacted. This season, we’re making room for more people to encounter Jesus, and there’s room for you here.

A word from Pastor Brent

Hear from Pastor Brent Caddell on the vision for Heart for the House and how every person can be part of what God is doing next.

The vision

Make room for more

The church was never our idea. It’s God’s idea. Jesus is building His Church, and He invites every one of us to be part of it.

In Mark 2, so many people gathered to hear Jesus that there was no room left, not even outside the door. We’re seeing something similar today. Every Sunday, more people walk through our doors looking for hope, and we want to make sure there is always room for them.

Heart for the House is a special offering, given above our regular tithes and offerings, that celebrates what God has already done and invests in what He’s doing next. This year it funds four initiatives across our Downtown and North locations. One church. Two locations. Every person has a part to play.

    [$50,000]

    Every Sunday, [75–100] people in our 2nd and 3rd services worship from overflow seating outside the main room. The mezzanine adds the seats we need, so there is always room for the next person God sends.
