Give Love 2026 | Rooted Here. Growing Beyond.

The heart behind the campaign

Deep Roots. Open Hands.

The building isn’t the mission. But it is a home for so much of the life and ministry we share.

It’s where kids learn about Jesus, where leaders pray and work together, and where conversations grow into friendships. We want to care well for this place, making it safer, more welcoming, and more useful. And our vision doesn’t end at our address. As part of a family of churches, we’re helping another community take root.

Campaign posture

That’s the heart of Give Love: care for what’s growing here, and help something new grow beyond us. We’ll pursue the most important projects first and defer lower-priority improvements as needed.

Why this matters

The life we share.

When the yard invites people to stay, friendships deepen. When the office works well, our growing team can collaborate, pray, and care for people. When the kids space has clear boundaries, families and volunteers are better served. These practical improvements support the everyday ministry already happening at Anthem.

We’re caring for our church home while extending that same generosity to a new church in our family.

Where the gifts go

The projects.

Six tangible investments in hospitality, safety, ministry, and church planting. We’ll prioritize the work, use skilled volunteers where appropriate, and keep the church informed as projects move forward.

01 · Yard & gathering

$14,000

A yard worth staying for.

The yard beside our church is a place to share a meal, meet someone new, and spend time together after a Sunday gathering. We’ve begun making it more welcoming. Your giving will help us add a pergola for shade, finish a paved walkway through the yard, build a brick station for serving coffee, and provide two sturdy picnic tables. Together, these improvements will turn an unfinished outdoor space into a comfortable place for neighbors, friends, and families to gather.

02 · Office & hospitality

$5,000

A place to work together. A place to pray together.

A growing team needs a useful place to work, meet, pray, and welcome people. We’re updating an underused room with heating and cooling, flooring, a shared wall desk, flexible seating, a whiteboard, and a small hospitality kitchenette.

Teamwork · Prayer · Hospitality

03 · Kids ministry

$2,000

Caring for our youngest disciples.

We’re adding walls to separate kids ministry from the kitchen, limiting unnecessary foot traffic through the children’s area, and installing half-swing entry doors. These small changes create safer, clearer spaces for kids, families, and volunteers.

Safety · Welcoming families

04 · Exterior & entry

Up to $5,000

Brighter. Safer. More welcoming.

Warm architectural lights will brighten the front of our brick building, stronger lighting will address vulnerable exterior areas, and a more secure commercial entrance will improve the building. Window trim painting can wait until funds allow.

05 · Church planting

$8,000

Helping a new church take root.

Restored Church West Valley is a brand-new church in Los Angeles and part of our Restored Family of Churches. We remember what it means to be a young church. Through Give Love, we get to stand with these friends as a new church takes root.

06 · Practical support · $500

The practical details.

Cleanup and dumpster rental help us complete these projects well. We’re also holding a reserve for changing quotes and surprises, so we can move forward with care rather than spend beyond our means.

Cleanup · Responsible planning

How the funds will work

Clear priorities. Faithful stewardship.

The purpose is not to complete every possible improvement at once. It’s to care for the people and place God has entrusted to us, then invest beyond ourselves with generosity.

01

Care for the essentials.

Kids ministry safety, a functional office, exterior security, and our church-planting gift are important parts of this year’s plan.

02

Finish what matters most.

A shaded pergola, a finished paved walkway, a coffee-serving station, and picnic tables will make the yard a more comfortable place to gather.

03

Stay flexible with the rest.

Window trim painting stays close to last. We’ll verify final costs, use volunteer skills wisely, and adapt the timeline as funds become available.

Budget snapshot

Where your generosity goes.

Our current plan totals $34,500 across outdoor gathering spaces, a multi-purpose office, children’s ministry, exterior security, church planting, and cleanup. The $40,000 goal includes a $5,500 reserve for price changes and unexpected needs.

Separate from this fundraiser: security cameras, rooftop improvements, and the much larger building renovations being considered for 2027.
