Vision Sunday

Each spring, Vision Sunday invites us to contribute toward the resources needed to continue and expand the mission of our church. For the past four years, we have been committed to investing in strengthening our Family Ministry and supporting programs that serve children and families in our neighborhood. We believe God is powerfully at work in these spaces, and we want to continue joining God in that work.

At Campus Church, we believe that faith is not just something we hold onto—it’s something we live out, together. We strive to let go of the oars (our tendency to be self-reliant and self-powered) and raise the sails of faith, trusting that power and movement will come from the wind of the Holy Spirit. As we invest in our church family and the needs of our neighborhood we are making space for God’s Spirit to move in ways beyond what we could accomplish on our own.

We continue to believe that raising our sails includes making financial commitments that sometimes stretch us. We trust that the Spirit will provide as we support the flourishing of ministries such as Family Ministry, Project Kids Eat, Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries, the Thanksgiving Community Meal, and our support at Meadowcreek Elementary. By investing in these efforts, we partner with God in His redemptive work, creating space for the Spirit to move and make a lasting impact in our church and community. Join us as we step forward in faith, trusting the Spirit to lead as we invest in God’s work.

The Family Ministry team is dedicated to providing a dynamic and engaging Sunday experience for kids and students. We believe in delivering age-appropriate teaching that captivates their hearts and minds, while fostering meaningful connections through small groups. Each child or student is paired with a caring leader, creating a safe and supportive community. While our programs are designed to nurture spiritual growth, we recognize that the most impactful influence in a child’s life is their parent or caregiver. That’s why we partner with families, offering training, resources, events, and community to support parents in their role as the primary spiritual guide in their child’s life.

Campus Kids ministry plays a vital role in nurturing the spiritual growth of young hearts while fostering a sense of belonging within the community. It goes beyond teaching biblical stories; it’s about building lasting relationships with the children, guiding them through the foundational values of love, kindness, and service. Our dedicated volunteers and leaders create a welcoming environment where kids feel known, loved, and valued, helping them develop a strong connection to both God and one another. Through age-appropriate lessons and hands-on service opportunities, children learn how to serve others, embodying Christ’s love in tangible ways. This ministry not only impacts the children but also encourages families to engage together in service, strengthening the bonds of our church community as a whole.

The Student Ministry is committed to building a vibrant community where students feel seen, valued, and encouraged in their faith journey. Our goal is to cultivate a space where students are not only seeking God but also asking deep and meaningful questions about their beliefs. Through engaging teaching, intentional small groups, and dedicated mentors, we create an environment that nurtures curiosity and spiritual growth. Beyond learning, we strive to develop a heart of service in our students, empowering them to live out their faith in tangible ways. We believe that discipleship is not just about knowledge—it’s about action, transformation, and a deepening relationship with Christ.

A recent study revealed that 11,000 children within a 3-mile radius of Campus Church are facing hunger. Project Kids Eat (PKE) responds by providing breakfast, lunch, essential items, and other resources to children in extended stay hotels and nearby apartments during the summer, when school meals are unavailable. Additionally, PKE offers groceries, essential items, Christmas gifts, and other necessities to families in extended stay hotels during the holiday season. Through partnerships with nonprofits, churches, foundations, businesses, and individuals, we gather the resources, needed items, and additional financial support necessary to address the growing needs of our community. Your contribution to Vision Sunday will help us purchase the food and supplies to be able to feed the children this summer.

The needs within our Norcross community continue to grow, with a 30% rise in individuals seeking assistance from Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries (NCM). In light of this growing demand, we are dedicated to increasing our support for NCM. Their holistic approach not only meets the immediate physical needs of our neighbors but also offers spiritual guidance and vital services aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering long-term stability. When you give to Vision Sunday your financial support will help NCM provide ample food and needed financial support to the families in our community.

The staff at Meadowcreek Elementary School faces unique challenges each day as they work to serve the children and families in our community, often with limited resources. Throughout the school year, we strive to support both the staff and families through a variety of efforts, including providing meals for the staff, offering financial assistance to families through the counseling department, giving a book to every student on Literacy Night, and organizing ongoing volunteer support. Additionally, we send special treats and notes of encouragement to uplift the staff throughout the year. Your contribution to Vision Sunday will help fund counselors' efforts to purchase clothing and essential items for families in crisis, provide books for students, and supply meals and treats for the staff.
