Church Family,

This past Sunday, we shared an important Pathways update: Phase 1 is almost here! Progress is about to become visible at our CityRise West U Baptist campus because next month on Monday, June 15, construction will begin on the Milton St. parking lot!

We know this will require some flexibility from our church family—the lot will be closed for approximately 10 to 12 weeks—and I want to thank you in advance for your patience, hospitality, and willingness to make room for one another. Even something as practical as parking can become an opportunity to serve others well, welcome guests warmly, and remember the larger mission and future behind this season of work.

You can view the full Pathways update (including our other campuses and about the campaign) which includes a parking map here. Parking information is also visible below and available at cityrise.org/pathways.

Thankfully, this parking change will begin after VBS at the West U Baptist campus has wrapped up, and we are excited for a full summer of ministry to kids and students across CityRise.

VBS’s theme this year is “Illumination Station.” Kids will shine a light on who Jesus really is through energetic worship, creative crafts, Bible stories, games, meaningful biblical teaching, and friendship-building opportunities. It will be a bright week of learning, laughter, and growth!

And better yet is that VBS will happen in multiple places throughout June!

Let’s continue praying that the Lord uses this summer to reach children, students, families, and neighbors with the hope of Jesus. Thank you for being a church family willing to make room, serve joyfully, and keep the mission in front of us.

We’ll see you on Sunday, Church Family!


Expecting Greater,
Pastor Roger
