"We will be ever-growing, ever-reaching this generation  for Christ" has been our commitment for over 33 years because we have always understood that Thunder Mountain Church was not started to serve our preferences, but it was about those whom the Lord would reach through us that no other church is reaching. Our greatest joy has been in knowing that God was using us to increase the population of Heaven and thereby decreasing the population of Hell!

In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father's will that EVEN ONE of these little ones should perish. Matthew 18:14 (NLT)

The larger our church has grown, the greater the temptation to be content with what we have. When you are blessed with much, it is tempting to enjoy the comforts those blessings provide. It is easy to look around and  conclude  we are doing "our share" and that the effort to reach "just" ONE is the responsibly of someone else.
 
For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more. Luke 12:48b (NKJV)

Thunder Mountain Church started with just a few who gave of themselves to become a church of many. Through much sacrifice, God multiplied our impact to reach the number of people we’ve been able to reach and whose lives He has transformed through us!

While we have much to celebrate, we believe that the leaders of Thunder Mountain Church today have a responsibility to ensure that THE BEST YEARS ARE ALWAYS JUST AHEAD!  Together, God will write His Story with us!

1. A secure children's facility
2. More seats for more people at our worship gatherings
3. More connection space
4. Greater capacity to host more people at discipleship events

The original projected cost, in October 2022, for a larger building was estimated to be $7 million. We started our “For The One” capital campaign in April 2023 with a goal of $2 million which would allow us to borrow the remaining $5 million and begin the project. The great news is that we reached our $2 million goal in May of 2026. The reality is that construction costs have soared since then and the project is now estimated to be $11.3 million.

By building the new 1,000 seat worship center and finishing our 10 acre campus, we will have a large room for worship and other large community events, more connections space (larger lobby, coffee shop, prayer room), and be able to dedicate our current facilities to the children's ministry.

Each time we have borrowed money, we did so with ONE purpose in mind and that is to reach people! In 2008, a church of about 100 committed to borrowing $1.5M and that allowed us to become a church that would touch the lives  of thousands of people a year. Borrowing money in 2018 let us have the new facilities three years earlier and touch the lives of hundreds of children  in the process!

In 2023 we paid off our mortgage and we did this for two reasons: 1) to eliminate  the need to pay interest and 2) we needed to eliminate all debt in order to be able to build again.

Short answer: if everyone did this we would have a building but no ministry. The operational budget funds everything we do and is where our tithes belong. This campaign will build our faith and it must come from money over and above our current giving.

Our church always has been and always will be about people! No matter how many people call TMC home, every ONE matters and as long as there is ONE MORE to reach, we will do everything we can to make room for each person God will call to Himself through us!

"The next person through the door belongs as much as anyone else!" (TMC AXIOM)

"Relentless Love" was a capital initiative from November 2018 to December 2021 that provided much needed children's ministry space along with some other projects
