What is the New Wave Project?
What is New Wave?
Each new swell on the ocean becomes a new wave. A wave has power and movement. We think that’s a pretty cool picture of what we see God doing in our future: providing power and movement for what He has for us.
Mariners Church has always been kind of different. We started in a Community Center and didn’t our own place for 27 years. And during the life of this church God has done incredible stuff here. We have seen more and more people come to Christ, we have been able to launch new ministries, and we have, by God’s grace, impacted a lot of people on the Coast.
New Wave is posturing ourselves through facilities, staffing, and equipping people, for touching a whole LOT MORE people on our Coast (and beyond!). We feel God is calling us to take steps to increase our ability to reach, disciple, and equip new and diverse generations of coastsiders through the next season of growth.
The fundraising portion of our journey began on April 1, 2017, with initial pledges totaling $1,243,000. As of October 31, 2019, our pledges had grown to $1,373,353. Everything was moving long to begin on the improvements in early 2020.
Thank you for your faithful giving and support of what God is doing on the coast side through Mariners Church, your church.
10% to grow new churches
Yes, God has placed in our heart to take 10% of what we raise and work with an effective ministry (local? International?) to bless them. Can you imagine what $200,000 could do for a hospital? An orphanage? A missionary trying to reach unreached people? This is to protect us from only thinking of “our” place—but to keep our eyes focused on other places where God is working. Check out the ministry with whom we are partnering!
