Mission
Our mission is to know God and to make God known. We desire to see every man, woman, and child in our community—and ultimately around the world—have the opportunity to know Jesus personally.
Vision
Our vision is to build one of God’s favorite places on earth—a sanctuary that brings Him glory and draws thousands to worship. Along Hwy 78, we will create a regional destination where people of all ages connect with God, with one another, and with His creation.

We believe now is the time. God is leading us, our leadership is in a strong season of ministry, and we are committed to passing a thriving church to the next generation—one that will impact lives and glorify Him for the next 150 years.
Purpose
Our purpose for this project is to expand the impact of Graystone Church so we can more effectively fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20). We anticipate our attendance doubling to more than 3,000 people when the new campus opens. With over 40,000 vehicles passing the property each day, our visibility will increase significantly. As we add space and enhance our ministry facilities, we will have the capacity to reach more than 5,000 people each weekend.
Goal
Our goal for this initiative is to raise $10 million over a three-year campaign.

We are prayerfully seeking 400–500 families to participate, stepping forward in faith, giving generously, and deepening their spiritual commitment throughout this journey.
The remaining funds required for the project will be secured through existing savings, the sale of designated properties, and strategic financing through a bank loan.

To see this vision fulfilled, we are relying on God to provide in ways only He can. As we move forward in faith, our capital campaign series, “Count Me In,” will launch in October 2026.

Pray

The estimated cost for Phase One is $25 million. Please join us in praying for God to do what only He can do. Pray for God to do a miracle and provide the resources needed to build His church. Matthew 7:7-8 says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
