Lane Highlights
Renovated the High Street campus
In order to serve the members of our High Street Campus, their families, and the city, we made much needed improvements in the areas of: paint, lighting, audio and video, signage, wayfinding, children’s spaces, exterior spaces, and room renovations.

Future Campus Launch
With an eye to the future, as a church we are always asking and seeking God for who He wants us to reach and where He wants us to go. We don't have a set plan for our next campus, but we do have a few locations that we are praying over.
If you are passionate about this particular project you can give directly to it.
Total Need: Approximately $200,000 for first year operations
Broadcast Campus Debt Reduction
After our first loan draw we have been given a 15 month interest only window for our loan of 3.8 million. We will be able to furnish the debt balance once the loan matures, however, we will aggressively pursue paying off the loan as soon as possible. As a church our goal and practice has been to function with as little debt as possible. If this excites you, consider
pointing your Legacy Giving in this direction.
Total Need: $3,800,000
