For 25 years, Clovis Hills has been set on reaching the un-churched with the life-changing message of the gospel. God has been so good to our church! He has allowed Clovis Hills to see tens-of-thousands of decisions for Christ and baptize close to 2,000. That is a significant work of God.
But, what if the most productive days of our church are ahead of us? What if, over the next three years, we could see the gospel driven into the heart of our community? What if, we could see it driven to the ends of the earth?
What if, in the next three years, we could see 2,500 confirmed decisions for Christ and 1,000 baptisms?
Our church is primed to reach the tens-of-thousands who will be moving into the area over the next 15 years. We want to leverage our property to preach the gospel to the nations – to this generation and the next.
The completion of the expansion of Willow Avenue past International Avenue in 2017, will mark the beginning of a season of rapid growth in the area around our church.
The Lord has granted Clovis Hills a great opportunity over the next three years, to turn this vision into a reality. We believe it will have a great affect on our neighborhoods, our city, our country and even our world. There are several events that will mark our church for the future.
In 2017, Luis Palau will come to Fresno and preach the gospel to over 20,000 people. This event will create a wave of goodwill toward the gospel in our community. Clovis Hills will have the unique opportunity to follow-up with many new believers and un-churched people in our community.
We are asking everyone at Clovis Hills to go, grow and give, to see the gospel driven further into the heart of our community and to the ends of the earth.
God has called Clovis Hills to do three things over the next three years: 1. Leverage our existing facilities by:
•Landscaping the roadside area of the property for the Willow Ave. expansion
•Technological upgrades to the Main Auditorium and the Venue
•Launching a half-day preschool in the Northeast Fresno area
•Renovation of our lobby space
2. Jerusalem - Share the gospel with more people than ever by:
•Individual evangelism training
•Large-scale evangelistic events, at and through Clovis Hills
•Neighborhood engagement
3. Extend the gospel to Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth:
•Southeast Fresno Church Plant (financial support and people)
•Porterville Satellite (financial support and serving)
•Bay Area Church Plant (financial support)
•India, Philippines, Japan, China, Africa and Panama
We estimate the cost to be 2.1 million dollars. The graph below represents the total contributions of an individual.
We cannot just build a bigger institution; we need a people-driven movement, in the Central Valley and in every neighborhood, commissioned to rise up and live out the gospel wherever God has placed them.

1. Leveraging our existing facilities Over the next three years, the city of Clovis will continue to build north. With the Willow Ave. expansion, we want to begin landscaping and beautifying the front of our property along the road. We want to begin some technological upgrades to the Main Auditorium and the Venue. This will allow us to update our sound and video technology, which has become outdated.
We want to begin renovations of our existing children’s classrooms, enabling us to launch the best preschool in the Northeast Fresno area. This will meet an ever-increasing need in our community. Finally, we would like to start renovations to the lobby and entryways to the Main Auditorium. By adding more space, we will add another area for our church family to easily gather in before and after our services.
2. Jerusalem In our home city, over the course of the next three years, we want to share the gospel with more people than ever. We are going to accomplish this by hosting large-scale evangelistic events at and through Clovis Hills. In doing these, we will use the gospel to drive the people in our community to Jesus.
With the amount of people that will be coming through the doors of Clovis Hills over the next three years, we will need more leaders than ever before to step up and help lead the surrounding community. We will begin individual evangelism training for anyone called to lead in our church. Each person will be trained to lead any neighborhood engagements that we begin and in cross-cultural missions engagements.
3. Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth We will be joining with the Luis Palau Festival, being held in Fresno during the spring of 2017. We will also be starting and financing multiple church plants in Southeast Fresno, Porterville and the Bay Area.
The Ends of the Earth Globally, we will continue our missions around the world: • The Philippines • Africa • India • China/Japan • Panama (E-Seminary) We will be adding a second story to the church in the Philippines, as well as, financing missions to India, Mozambique and Panama by launching an evangelism seminary.
