What's this Right Now all about?
Our Future
After our long wait, God is moving and telling us to do something RIGHT NOW!
Who does this Involve?
We're in this together!
We are a group of people who are being transformed into the image of God as we love God, love others, and make disciples. God has brought us to this point, and we are ready to be used by Him to accomplish this great vision.
It's about more than just a building.
21-Day Spiritual Journey
January 21 - February 11
"This experience can't be about concrete and steel. If that's it, then who even are we? This has to be about a people surrendering to God and his plan for our lives. It has to be about pressing in and knowing Him more. That's the journey I'm interested in."
-Pastor Steve Dusek
Our heartbeat is to seek Him first, and His Kingdom, and His righteousness. THEN all these other things will be added to us. (Matthew 6:33) So, we are taking a spiritual journey together. We'll be praying, inviting, serving, and giving BOLDLY.
When is "Right Now?"
This will be a 21-Day Spiritual Journey
Culminating in 1 Commitment Day
For a 24-month Pledge toward the future of the gospel in Gilmer County
Join us for COMMITMENT SUNDAY on February 11!
Building Our Future
We bought this property in 2018
God made it possible for us to get some amazing land in an amazing location.
Spectacular Views
What's it going to look like?
"My favorite feature is the large gathering space. It feels like our current facility is function-centric. This new building will be people-centric."

What's it going to cost?
Our cost estimate is $8.7 million.
Yes, that is ridiculous. But that is the unfortunate reality of building in today's economic environment.
And yes, that number is way beyond our capacity.
But it is not beyond God's capacity.
We have already seen miraculous giving toward this project even before our journey officially begins. Based on what we've already seen, we believe that this is absolutely no problem for God, and that he will use each of us to make it happen!
How can I get in on the blessing?
Here are some creative ways to give toward this vision.
Income Tax Refund
Assets
Put Off Purchase
Redirect discretionary purchase funds toward the vision of the Highland Fund.
Redirect IRA's and 401k's
Redirect retirement funds for 24-months to the Highland Fund.
Adjust Your Vacations
For the 24-month period of this journey, or possibly for just a part, do something close and inexpensive like day hikes, picnics, or take a three day vacation instead of a week and save on airfare and hotel costs. This can save between $1,000 and $2,000.
Cut Back On Discretionary Spending
Try basic cable instead of premium. Or maybe fewer streaming services. You likely pay for some that you don't use often. If you skip that $6 coffee at Starbucks twice each week, you can save nearly $50 each month! There are lots of ways you can work it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do we break ground?
That depends on our pledge campaign results. If we come very close to our goal, we will be able to start sooner. We are currently in the design process, having construction plans engineered and drawn up. After comes the permitting phase. Once plans and permits are in place, we can begin whenever we are ready.
Are we building in Phases?
This is all about "Phase One." We do have general ideas for future phases, but we aren't pursuing those at this time.
What if we outgrow quickly?
Wouldn't that be a great problem to have?
Sometimes churches experience a growth surge after moving in to a new facility. That surge is really dependent upon our people inviting their friends, neighbors, co-workers in to be part of what God is doing.
Got more questions?
We're here to answer! We'd love to talk to anyone about our vision!
