Matthew Ninke

“Holding Fast, Reaching Out” reflects the heart of Jerusalem’s Expansion Plan—remaining firmly grounded in God’s Word while extending Christ’s love to more people. As we strengthen our spiritual foundation, we also create space to welcome new families, expand ministry opportunities, and share the gospel with our growing community.

Trusting in the Lord’s guidance, Jerusalem’s Expansion Committee continues working toward its $1M goal by May 2026. Subcommittees are advancing design plans, fundraising visits, loan preapproval, marketing strategies, and tuition review. While the path is challenging, we move forward in faith, praying for God’s direction as we serve our community with Christ’s love.

Jerusalem’s Expansion Committee is moving forward “one by one,” focusing not just on raising $1M by May 2026, but on connecting personally with members and families. Through individual visits and conversations, the goal is to strengthen spiritual growth, share the vision for new classrooms and accessibility improvements, and unite our congregation in reaching more souls with the gospel.
