We believe God has given Second a vision to reach more people and serve our growing community. While pursuing this vision will require a significant investment, we believe the cost of inaction would be even greater.

In the Baytown and Mont Belvieu areas, approximately 60% of the community does not regularly attend church services.

Through the Multiply campaign, we want to create space for more people to discover truth, belonging, and purpose in Jesus. We believe this is the right time to move forward in faith.

The expansion will include a new Worship Center and a lobby. The renovation of the current Worship Center will connect the lobby, add a Next Steps Corner, a conference room, two multipurpose meeting rooms, and office space. A new playground will be added in the Education Building near the current children’s area.

These improvements will increase our campus capacity and provide more opportunities to worship, disciple, serve, and reach people throughout our community.

The estimated total cost of the project is $14.5 million. This estimate includes construction of the new facilities as well as renovations to the current Worship Center and related campus improvements.

The estimate was developed with input from our construction team and is based on the project’s scope of work, current construction prices, national industry estimates, and costs associated with similar projects currently underway.

As the project progresses, costs and estimates may change. However, we believe the current estimate is realistic and consistent with comparable projects.

The total project cost is estimated at $14.5 million. We currently have $3 million in our building fund, which has helped us begin moving the project forward. We anticipate borrowing approximately $5 million through lending institutions. The remaining $6.5 million will be raised through the Multiply campaign.

Yes. We currently estimate that we will need to borrow approximately $5 million to complete the project. Annual debt service is expected to remain below $600,000, which fits within our ongoing ministry budget.

Our goal is to ensure that regular ministry and missions funding is not reduced to cover building-related costs.

Yes. Multiply gifts are intended to be sacrificial contributions made in addition to regular giving. Through these gifts, we can expand our ministry reach and continue serving our community while the building project moves forward. The Multiply Campaign will take place over two years and will include three year-end giving opportunities in 2026, 2027, and 2028. Each person and family is encouraged to prayerfully consider how they can participate

Yes. When giving online, select Multiply from the designation menu. If you give by check or another written method, please write Multiply on your gift.

The project will be completed in phases. The first phase will focus on constructing the new facility. Once the new Worship Center is complete, Sunday worship services will move there, allowing us to begin renovating the current Worship Center.

The current Worship Center will be renovated to include a connecting lobby, a Next Steps Corner, a conference room, two multipurpose meeting rooms, and an office complex. These renovations will create additional space for ministry, meetings, discipleship, and church operations.

Based on the current project schedule, we anticipate breaking ground in May 2027 and completing the project in June 2028. Timelines may change as the project progresses, and we will communicate significant updates to the congregation.

We will provide regular updates as the project progresses, including information about construction, timelines, finances, and ministry impact. Our goal is to keep the congregation informed and involved throughout each phase of the project.

You can participate by praying for the project, giving sacrificially above and beyond your regular giving, and helping share the vision with others. Every contribution and every prayer helps Second reach more people with the gospel and serve our community more effectively.
