OCTOBER 18, 2026 · FOUNDATION CHRISTIAN CHURCH
VISION SUNDAY · OCTOBER 18, 2026
Hear the vision behind church planting, local church investment, and making room for Foundation Kids.
THE HEART OF SUNDAY · MATTHEW 25:14–30
Jesus’ story of the entrusted gold brought us back to one question: what are we doing with what we’ve been given? The faithful servants put it to work. Fear led the other servant to bury it.
As individuals and as a church, we want to invest our people, resources, and opportunities beyond ourselves.
INVESTING BEYOND NEWNAN
A sending church from the start.
Before Foundation was four months old, we committed $25,000 to help City Church launch in Griffin. That outward investment has continued through partnerships with church plants across the country.
It goes beyond money. Foundation has shared kids ministry handbooks, safety procedures, and volunteer resources with over half the church planters on our map.

AN UPDATE FROM BLACKSBURG, VIRGINIA
Adam and Shelly are serving in a church-planting residency with Blacksburg Church as they prepare for their own planting journey. Foundation is supporting their family through this season.
In a video update, Adam shared how a conversation outside a coffee shop grew into ongoing conversations about faith—and someone reading the Bible for the first time.
What’s next: the residency ends in January 2027, followed by Discovery here at Foundation.
HOSTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF PLANTERS
February 9–11, 2027
We’ll host Stadia’s church-planting assessment, including Adam and Shelly. Sunday’s announcement also shared that this will be Stadia’s first bilingual Discovery, with English- and Spanish-speaking teams.
SHARING WHAT WE HAVE
What we’re learning is ours to share.
Over the next year, Foundation is investing time, space, and staff in churches close to home. The aim is to help more congregations reach people who are disconnected from Jesus.
A Lead Pastors Lunch & Learn brought local pastors together for a meal and teaching. The next steps extend that investment to their teams.
INTENTIONAL CHURCHES
Three parts of one mission: helping people far from God become close to Jesus. Open each part to revisit Sunday’s teaching.
A Sunday gathering that helps people encounter Jesus and know the next step they can take.
Creating opportunities for relationships that change our lives as we follow Jesus together.
Putting our time, gifts, professional skills, and money at Jesus’ disposal to serve beyond ourselves.
Anyone close to you but far from God.
ROOTED IN SCRIPTURE
Luke 15:4 · Seek the one who is lost.
Matthew 28:18–20 · Go and make disciples under Jesus’ authority.
Acts 2:42–47 · A devoted community that keeps welcoming people to faith.
INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION
The children growing up here can carry their faith into churches and communities wherever life takes them.
Caroline Howard joined in August as our part-time Early Childhood Director, adding focused leadership alongside Robin, Ashley, and the volunteer team.
The next pressing need is space. Today, nursery through Pre-K shares three dedicated spaces, and every family uses the same central pickup hallway.
A nursery, a separate Walkers room, a 2 Year Old Room, and three Pre-K rooms.
An early childhood hallway separates that pickup traffic from elementary. Both sides connect to the main hallway.
A space equipped for children with special needs to use when the environment becomes overwhelming.

Explore the Floor PlansTHE PRACTICAL PLAN
Scheduled start · October 19, 2026
Work is scheduled to begin Monday, October 19, 2026, using the funds already given. Work will proceed as funding allows. The aim is to finish before the end of 2026 if the remaining funds are received.
The new early childhood layout, hallway, and sensory room, plus new carpet and lighting in both the elementary and early childhood areas. The focus is safe, functional space for kids to learn and grow.
Temporary kids spaces using the portable panels from Foundation’s early days will help ministry continue as the work progresses.
Letting us know what you expect to give before the end of the year—and when—helps us plan the work around available funds. Use the pledge form or find the Early Childhood Remodel pledge link on the Church Center home screen.
