A Bold Future Campaign
Igniting Faith | Embracing Tomorrow
When I went to church as a kid, one of the songs we sang was “He’s got the Whole World in His Hands.” God has everything in His hands – the world, the little bitty baby, you and me, brother and sister – all in God’s hands. One line I don’t ever remember singing, but it is as truthful as any, is that God has our future in His hands. God is absolutely in control of our future and I believe His desire is to see Wentzville Christian Church continue to boldly reach and disciple this community for Jesus Christ. Our desire is to continue to ignite a passion for Jesus, the Bible, the Church, and Others and if we do… God’s church will continue to grow!
Over the last several years, WCC has continued to reach our community and beyond. We are thrilled that many families and individuals joined with us to ignite these passions! We see
A Bold Future in front of us, not because we’re so great, but because God is! The growth of our church is His blessing for our faithfulness as a church body to plant and water the seeds.
Nehemiah 2:18 ESV
And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
God is the one who is making our church grow. It is His Spirit at work in the lives of those who are confessing faith in Christ and being baptized, His Spirit is at work changing lives! God has invited us to be co-workers in this service and mission creating A Bold Future!
Our church, WCC, will be seeking to expand our campus and make more room to reach our community both now and in the future. We have all seen the growth of our church and we know that God has a bold future planned for us as we continue to become the church this community desperately needs. It will take all of us! It will take sacrifice! Jesus is the Hope of this world and our congregation as well as this community are in His hands!
A Bold Future Together,

A Bold Future Vision Night
Join us for A Bold Future Vision Night! These will be taking place on October 23 and 27. Childcare will be provided on October 23. Our leaders will cast a vision for our congregants with details about the purpose of this campaign. There will be a time of Q&A and a focus on prayer for our current ministries and what lies ahead. Light Refreshments will be provided. Our NextGen is encouraged to attend.
Prayer Marathon
Friday, November 8 at 5pm to Saturday, November 9 at 5pm is our 24-Hour Prayer Marathon for our Bold Future campaign. Through interactive stations centered around the five senses, you’ll have an opportunity to learn and pray about our campaign in environments designed to help you draw near to God. On top of that, we are also offering a kid’s track with activities meant to help families of preschool and elementary students pray together. We hope all generations walk away from the Prayer Marathon excited about WCC’s Bold Future! You can sign up on our website for a thirty-minute time slot; we hope to see you there!
The Dream
Build a new Worship Center while expanding our lobby, creating more space for our times of worship while allocating more space for our NextGen ministries (Kids & Students).
Complete an exterior renovation to update our WCC campus, creating a cohesive entry point for our congregation and our community.
Renovate and equip our existing space to continue to meet the ministry and programming needs of our NextGen.
