Pathways Create: CityRise Bellaire

The CityRise Bellaire campus is poised for its final flourish with a dedicated landscaping Project, generously championed by a family eager to "finish out the building." Following a transformative $12.5M investment that revitalized this campus from a dilapidated state to an amazing facility, this project will complete the vision for a beautiful, welcoming environment.

By creating a space outside to host a variety of groups and activities, our church family will have yet another way to grow closer to each other and bring more families from the community into our church.

After an impressive building renovation project at our Bellaire Campus, we are so excited to turn our attention to the outdoors.  One thing that has been hard to come by is making the whole campus cohesive, accessible from multiple vantage points, improving curb appeal and, most importantly, creating new multi-use gathering space outside to match the community of our internal fellowship spaces.  Now we are going to do just that through a cohesive landscape project that will beautify our campus from edge to edge, tying all of our current buildings together with beautiful, well-planned pathways, green spaces and the crown jewel of the project, a multi-use outdoor pavilion that will be inviting to our church and those nearby.  This park-like expansion will allow us to greatly multiply outreach and fellowship for the Bellaire Campus while exponentially improving its beauty and accessibility.

Endorsement from Clayton Sears, Bellaire Member

I strongly support the CityRise Bellaire outdoor pavilion and greenspace project. This initiative will meaningfully enhance our campus by creating a beautiful, welcoming environment that reflects the warmth of our church community. We currently lack an outdoor gathering space that encourages fellowship, connection, and shared life together; this project fills that gap in a thoughtful and impactful way. The pavilion and surrounding greenspace will not only provide a versatile setting for ministry activities, family events, and informal community interaction, but will also significantly elevate the church’s curb appeal, presenting a vibrant, inviting message to members, guests, and neighbors alike. This investment strengthens both our campus and our mission, offering a space where relationships can grow and the Holy Spirit can flourish.
