We’re giving to more than a building.
We’re giving to the advancement
of the Kingdom of God.
After years of God’s provision and incessant prayer, we closed on our new church home and have begun renovations!
It is located in Uptown at 2903 Jefferson Avenue. This exceptional opportunity uniquely positions us to advance
the Kingdom in New Orleans for generations to come.
By God’s grace we are one of the fastest growing church plants in our denomination and city. Around half of our
church is in church for the first time in their adult life. Our new building exponentially increases our
capacity for worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and sacrificial service. As churches are closing all
around us, we are opening a new one, establishing a physical, visible, stable headquarters from which New
Orleans will be transformed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Purpose of Purchasing This Building
- For a Lasting Church: We want Resurrection to bless New Orleans with the Gospel for generations to come.
- For an Embodied Church: Being the Church is predicated on being together as the Church.
- For a Faithful Church: The building serves the mission of the Kingdom.
Faith In Action Capital Campaign
We are raising $2,500,372 through our capital campaign for renovations, which includes $500,000 owed on the
building. The breakdown of the renovation totals is 28% for Phase 1 (gym, library & classrooms), 30% for
Phase 2 (sanctuary & front corridor) and 42% for Phase 3 (second floor classrooms & offices).
For planning purposes, we are asking for giving commitments by February 16, 2025, with a goal of raising the
funds by April 2026. Please click the buttons below to make a pledge or to give now.
