Kingdom Builders is the way we, as a church, will generously partner with organizations that share our passion to see God’s Kingdom across the street and around the world.
If we summed up all of our efforts, it would equal this central truth. In our core values, we make the statement that We Live on Mission, across the street, and around the world. But how does all this happen? Kingdom Builders is the way we, as a church, will generously partner with organizations that share our passion to see God’s Kingdom come. Our collective giving has a greater eternal impact than we may realize. The following information is designed to inspire, excite, and demonstrate how our partners put shoe-leather to the mission. We believe you will see Changed Lives, Changing Communities in living color, both locally and globally.

Three Areas of Impact:
Global Missions
Through our partners, Evangel Church has made global impact in the areas of hunger, village transformation, refugee relief, human trafficking and disaster relief. Over the years, the least of these have been served in Jesus’ name, and the Gospel has gone out to unreached people. With Kingdom Builders, our partners will feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, and visit the prisoner to a greater degree than ever before.
Local Outreach and Church Multiplication
Our eyes are on the fields of harvest here in our own neighborhood. Boxes of Hope will continue to bless families during Thanksgiving and Easter, while the Backpack Outreach and Christmas Blessings will bring smiles to many local children. The addicted, the broken and the lost will find healing and restoration in our own communities through our amazing partners. Evangel is also committed to providing funds for church multiplication in cities around the country. Helping to fund local, life-giving churches in our own nation is a sure way for lasting change to happen, and we are up for the challenge!
Future Kingdom Leaders
As followers of Jesus, we are charged with investing in the next generation. Your giving to Kingdom Builders will allow us to pour into our college students and youth in meaningful ways that will shape their future. We intend to fund upcoming missions trips for our middle and high schoolers because we know that God often calls men and women into ministry during these years. A trip like this can launch a future pastor or missionary on the path to leading many others into the Kingdom. In addition, we will provide scholarships to Evangel college students who seek to pursue careers in the marketplace. Our desire is to remove roadblocks that stand in the way of our young people going after all that the Lord has in store for them.

Changing Communities Through Church Multiplication
In 2022, we will be partnering with three to four church planters around the country to launch life-giving Assemblies of God churches in communities of greatest spiritual need.

Rhythm Church Pensacola, Florida
As Rhythm Church prepares to launch in January 2022, Pastor Vernell Adams seeks to modify the tempo of his hometown of Pensacola to better reflect the heartbeat of Jesus. Upon returning in 2015, his heart was burdened by broken families, addiction, and the high levels of homelessness in his city. Pastor Vernell believes that revival first comes when people become the tangible expression of Jesus. Before they officially even launch, on every 3rd Sunday, Rhythm Church will go beyond its four walls to provide food and toiletries for the homeless, beautify local parks, and work with local nonprofits to educate families about counseling and mental health resources. Evangel Church has linked arms with Pastor Vernell and his wife Aisha to launch this new church into a community that desperately needs the message of hope through Jesus Christ.
LOCAL OUTREACH
(Reaching Our Community)
We believe in the transforming power of the gospel, and we have several local partnerships with organizations that work to see broken lives restored through Christ. Men and women bound by drug and alcohol addiction find freedom in Christ-centered recovery programs. Victims of human trafficking receive rehabilitation and are put on a new path through our caring local ministries. Our pro-life partners not only provide an alternative to abortion, but also resources for young single mothers and support for families who have adopted or fostered children.
City Relief
City Relief connects people who are hurting
and homeless to resources they need to survive, and the hope they need to try. $50,000 will help City Relief provide emergency shelter, food, socks, ID, detox, employment, and the belief that a brighter future is possible.
Miriam’s Heart
By participating in their Care Portal, we will partner to respond to foster, adoptive, and biological families in crisis in our area. Your giving will meet physical, emotional and
spiritual needs and help to build strong families.
YoungLives
We will send 20 teenage moms and their babies to a Christian camp for a week of fun, friendship and spiritual development. Throughout the year, Evangel will support the needs of our local chapter through our local outreach efforts.
Gateway Pregnancy Centers
Gateway’s mission is to bring the gospel to every woman and man that comes through their doors. Your giving allows this front-line ministry to provide practical assistance, education, and resources to help everyone they serve choose life.
Church & Community Abolition Network (CAN)
