As we continue to grow and look to the days ahead, we prepare ourselves for those who are yet to come. Heaven and hell are realities, and as long as there are lost people in our city, we have a mandate to reach them. With that in mind, we have FOUR INITIATIVES we’re focusing on as we move into a new year:

The facility at Beachside High School has been a tremendous blessing for our church. Our relationship with the school, faculty, and St Johns County School District is healthy and strong. However, it’s never too early to prepare ourselves for the next step. That way, when God opens the door of opportunity, we’ll be financially ready to follow Him. Our prayer is that one day God will provide us with land to build – or a building to purchase and renovate – in St Johns County. A long-term home with enough room for adult, student, and children’s spaces, as well as areas for groups, discipleship classes, and local outreach opportunities.

We’ll begin 2025 with 8 new partnerships with other faith-based, nonprofit organizations that serve the community through missions and outreach. Everything from feeding the homeless, caring for single mothers, foster care, housing abused women and children, serving families with disabilities, and even medical missions’ trips overseas. In 2024, Legacy House contributed 12% of our total budget to missions and local partnerships. In 2025, our goal is to increase this contribution to 15% (5% more than the national average).

In the last 12 months, our church has grown by 86%. Praise God! As we continue to grow, we understand that our staff must also increase to adequately facilitate and minister to the people that call Legacy House “home.” We are believing God for an additional $100,000 to put toward multiple hires in 2025. We desire to find skilled, like-spirited individuals who can join our staff, build healthy, kingdom culture, and help us more effectively care for people.

The Great Commission that Jesus gave in Matthew 28 was clear: MAKE DISCIPLES. One of the ways this happens is through teaching and instruction. In 2025, we'll set out to create digital content and resources that can serve as a discipleship tool for new believers, as well as all Christ followers who desire to deepen their knowledge of God and understanding of His Word. These resources will ultimately be housed on the Legacy House App and would be accessible free of charge.
