For years we at Canyon Hills have talked about a sense of calling that is a bit unique.

We've known that our passion to communicate a white-hot relationship with God in a way that relates to people who are far from God is a bit unique. And we've known that that is our mission: To bring people who are far from God into authentic community with God and each other in a way that fully forms Christ in their lives and ours.

And we've known that our desire to serve our community in ways that matter, with no strings attached, is a bit unique. From building homes for impoverished families in Mexico to providing backpacks full of school supplies for kids in local shelters, we've wanted our hands to touch our world with God's love.

Even our dream of someday building a community center to serve the needs of the world around us reflects that sense of calling. What if we were to build a “Community Center” some day instead of just another “church building?” A space that we could use 24/7 — for offices, mid-week stuff, youth programs, weekend services — but much more than that as well. A space that was wide open to the world around us. Basketball courts, game room, coffee shop, after-school programs … all integrated with a plan to draw people toward God as we serve them.
