Unstoppable Campaign Fund Update
"Unstoppable" is the name of GrX's capital campaign to raise funds for our local, regional, and global initiatives to impact the world for Christ. The GrX family of churches includes Sunnyvale mother church, as well as church plants in San Francisco and Fremont. GrX Sunnyvale is currently mobile, and holds services at hotels, where we set up and break down every Sunday. The Unstoppable campaign hopes to realize our dream of establishing a first home for GrX Sunnyvale; of equipping our regional campuses in an area that claims a staggering 93% unchurched demographic; and of financing our long-term overseas partnerships to aid the poor, care for the sick, lift up the marginalized, and reach the lost.
The campaign was launched in Fall 2006, with a three-year time frame to raise some $10-15 million. Eighty percent would be given over to purchasing the Sunnyvale building, while 10% would be slated for our church plants, and 10% earmarked for global ministries in Cambodia, Thailand, East Asia, and Kenya. At our Fall 2006 pledge drive, we gathered together, across three different campuses, as one body united in Christ, and gladly stretched our faith to collectively pledge $8.5 million. It was a remarkable communal moment, a turning point in the life of the church. And Godwilling, we know, our unstoppable journey is only just beginning.
