RISE & BUILD 2025
Today’s investment for tomorrow’s opportunities
Rise and Build has been about our future vision and not just the upkeep of buildings and resources. It is about the Church as a whole investing into our future together.
-
Every person giving generously with a spirit of faith, in worship of God.
-
Building and maintaining excellent facilities for the glory of God.
-
Reaching and equipping people to have an influence in our towns, cities, nation and the world.
Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.
GENESIS 26:22
MESSAGE FROM THE ALIVE CHURCH LEAD TEAM
Dear Church,
2025 was a truly exciting year for us here at Alive. On average, 1,273 people attended our services each week (an 11% increase on 2024). Across the year, 1,372 new people visited the church, 191 people made decisions to follow Jesus, and 51 people were baptised. We are so grateful that you are part of this journey.
The theme for Rise and Build this year is ‘Reopening Ancient Wells’, based on Genesis 26:12–33. Verse 18 says, ‘Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham,’ and then in verse 22, after Isaac digs a third well, we read: ‘He named it Rehoboth, saying, “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.”’
We believe the Lord has called us to the region of Greater Lincolnshire and that He has given us room so that we may flourish in the land. This year, we are delighted to articulate the mission God has given us:
‘Advancing God’s Kingdom for this region and beyond.’
We are also pleased to announce that we have rewritten our values to align clearly with our vision and mission. The values of Alive Church are now:
-
We are Word and Spirit led.
-
We develop disciples of Jesus.
-
We love and serve all people.
-
We bring Kingdom transformation.
-
We live abundantly.
We live abundantly.Rise and Build has always been about future vision, not simply the upkeep of buildings and resources. In 2026, our visionary plans are to launch a new location of Alive Church in Horncastle and to sow into ‘A Day to Be Alive’. Through Rise and Build, we have the opportunity to invest in lives and see them transformed by the good news of Jesus.
Through Rise and Build, we are all invited to play our part in investing in the vision and mission God has given us. Improving our facilities and equipment, and investing in our growing vision, is one way in which we thank the Lord for all He has done for us.
We are deeply grateful for your ongoing investment in the life of the church.
