What's Next?
God has invited us into something bigger than any one of us could accomplish alone through the HOME Campaign. So where do we go from here? Begin by asking Him what part He's inviting each of us to play.
1. Pray
Pray for what God wants to do through Echoes' HOME Campaign. Pray for lives to be changed, for our church to have courage and faith, and for God to multiply what we bring to Him in ways only He can.
2. Listen
Make space to hear from God. Ask Him what He wants to do in you through this season, not only what He wants from you. Be open to wherever He leads and whatever next step He puts in front of you.
3. Give
Consider where you are on your generosity journey and ask God what your next step looks like. Give from a place of faith and obedience, trusting that when we put what we have in God's hands, He can use it to make an impact far beyond us.
4. Step In
Echoes is something we get to build together. Engage fully in this season. Join the conversations, celebrate what God is doing, encourage others, and look for opportunities to use your time, influence, gifts, and resources to be part of the vision.
Commitment Sunday is October 11, 2026
As a church, we will come together during our Sunday services to make our generosity commitments. We seek to bring God our first and best, because God first loved us by giving His first and best in Christ.
This is one of the most important days in the life of Echoes Church, and we want every family there. Come expecting to celebrate what God has done, worship together, and take your next step of faith as a family.
Frequently Asked Questions
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
What does 100% participation mean?
100% participation means we desire every person who calls Echoes home to engage fully and prayerfully with what God is inviting us into during this season. We pray the HOME Campaign leads each of us into deeper trust in God, whether that's through prayer, generosity, or serving alongside our church family. Our hope is that all of us would say yes, wholeheartedly engaged, so God can continue changing us, transforming us, and drawing us closer to Jesus through this journey.
What is the "One Fund" model, and why are we doing it this way?
You may have been part of church campaigns in the past where you were asked to give a second gift above and beyond your normal offering to fund a special project. Perhaps you gave to a "Building Fund" while continuing to give to the "General Fund." We believe it is healthier and simpler to give to a single fund.
The HOME Campaign will last two years. During those two years, every gift given to Echoes Church will go toward both our ongoing ministries and the vision God has given us for the future. Both priorities will be part of a single budget set by our leadership and overseers, in response to the commitments made during this initiative.
You do not need to give to separate funds. One gift. One fund. One mission.
Where and how can I give?
You can give online by credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer, as well as through stocks, crypto, or a donor-advised fund. You can also give by mail with a check, or in person in the lobby during any of our services at Desert Ridge High School.
Can I start giving toward the HOME Campaign now, or do I need to wait for Commitment Sunday?
Yes. You don't need to wait for October 11 to begin.
When do I turn in my commitment card?
You'll bring your commitment card with you on Commitment Sunday, October 11, 2026, across each of our four services. Come ready to worship together as one church family and bring your commitment forward, not simply as a pledge, but as a sacrificial gift.
What is Commitment Sunday, and what do I need to do?
Commitment Sunday, October 11, 2026, is when our whole church family comes together across all four services to bring our commitment cards forward, not simply as pledges, but as sacrificial gifts. We encourage you to begin praying now about what God is inviting you to give over the next two years. Then, as a church family, we'll bring our commitments together in faith, trusting God to do more than we could ever accomplish on our own.
What does it mean to "take a step" in the Generosity Journey?
What God is asking us to build is about more than what we accomplish together. It's also about who we become along the way. Wherever you are on the journey, there's a next step:
- Give First (Trust) — putting God first with what you have, before anyone or anything else gets a claim.
- Give Faithfully (Faithfulness) — moving from an occasional gift to a steady rhythm.
- Give Sacrificially (Surrender) — giving in a way that actually costs you something.
- Give Eternally (Eternal Vision) — making resource decisions in light of Kingdom impact rather than personal comfort.
No one is asked to jump ahead. Everyone is invited to take their next one.
Join Us for the HOME Series
Starting September 11, we'll walk through a five-week series together as a church family, tracing the life of Abraham and what it means to build a home on faith rather than certainty.
Pick up your Vision Book at any service beginning that weekend. Inside, you'll find the full HOME Campaign story, renderings of our future home, a weekly devotional to walk through, and so much more.
