CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

HISTORY

While we have a long way to go to achieve the vision the Lord has given us for our downtown property, we have already accomplished so much! In October of 2022, we purchased our current building and began meeting there for the first time by Christmas. We have invested over $150,000 back into the property through various improvements. This includes overhauling and upgrading the water service and sprinkler system, remodeling space upstairs for our community gatherings, and enhancing our main downstairs area as funding allows, which encompasses resurfacing concrete floors, upgrading some electrical systems, and addressing the boiler system.

Additionally, we are making an impact in the local community. Our efforts have included significant cleaning and vandalism repair, establishing a ministry of presence in the neighborhood by meeting at least twice a week in the space. We have also been feeding our church body and the local residents through periodic barbeques. Our commitment to safety and security is demonstrated through regular patrols and our partnership with law enforcement to tackle crime in the area. The steps we have taken are just the beginning of our mission to serve and uplift our community.

AT RESPONSE CHURCH WE FEEL CALLED TO DOWNTOWN ANCHORAGE. 

IT IS OUR INTENT TO CHANGE THE CULTURE OF ANCHORAGE, BY MAKING CULTURE IN THE HEART OF OUR CITY THAT REFLECTS THE HEART OF GOD.

MISSION

We believe that by fostering a community rooted in love, compassion, and hope, we can create a lasting impact.

Our mission is to engage with the diverse populations of Anchorage, welcoming all individuals regardless of their background or beliefs. Through various initiatives, events, and outreach programs, we aim to showcase the beauty of unity and the transformative power of faith in Jesus.

As we work towards this goal, we will focus on building relationships that promote understanding and respect. By reflecting God's heart in our actions and interactions, we hope to inspire others to join us in this journey of cultural renewal. Together, we can cultivate an environment that not only honors our Creator but also enriches the lives of the residents of Anchorage.

This capital campaign seeks to raise the funds to establish our multi-functional property that will grow our ministry of presence in the area and serve as the home for our church, discipleship school, safe and effective meeting space such as a café or coffeehouse, and to serve the poor.
