IT IS AN EXCITING TIME TO BE PART OF STETSON BAPTIST CHURCH.
Dear Friends,
God is doing something really special at Stetson Baptist Church. We are seeing lives changed, families connected, people growing in their faith, and more and more people attending each week. It is an exciting season to be part of Stetson Baptist, and we are deeply grateful for how God is blessing our church.
With that growth comes a growing sense of responsibility. As more people come through our doors, we are experiencing real pressure on our facilities—especially in our preschool, children’s, student, and community gathering spaces. We believe God is calling us to respond faithfully, not just for today, but for generations to come.
FORWARD: Building for the Future is an opportunity to expand our campus in a responsible, phased, and strategic way so that we can better disciple people, create welcoming and secure environments, and continue reaching our community for Christ. This campaign is not simply about buildings—it is about creating space for lives to be changed.
We are asking every household to prayerfully consider making a sacrificial commitment, over and above regular tithes and offerings, to be given over the next three years. What you give is a personal decision between you and God, but what we accomplish together will impact countless lives.
Thank you for praying, participating, and stepping FORWARD in faith as we trust God with the future He is preparing for us.
In Him,
Pastor Dan Glenn

Stetson Baptist Church Building Concept
This concept video, prepared by our architectural team, provides a visual overview of the long-term vision for the Stetson Baptist Church campus. It is intended to help our church family better understand how future facility improvements could support ministry, create space for growth, and steward the resources God has entrusted to us.
While this video represents a conceptual plan rather than a final design, it reflects thoughtful planning, prayerful vision, and a desire to prepare responsibly for the future. We invite you to watch and consider how God may be leading us forward together.

The project will be funded through a three-year capital stewardship campaign, made possible by prayerful, sacrificial commitments from our church family, over and above regular tithes and offerings.
Stetson Baptist Church is financially stable. Regular giving continues to support current ministries and operations, and our leadership is committed to responsible financial stewardship as we move forward.
Commitments to the FORWARD campaign will be made over a three-year period.
A pledge is a prayerful commitment between you and God. It allows our church leadership to plan responsibly while providing a tangible way for individuals and families to step out in faith.
A commitment reflects a personal decision to give sacrificially over time. The amount and method of giving remain flexible and are guided by prayer and obedience to God.
There are several ways to give, including one-time gifts or giving over time. In addition to traditional cash giving, some choose to give through non-cash gifts as well. Both the amount and method of giving are flexible as God leads. If you have questions or would like help exploring the best way to give, our team would be glad to assist you.
First, pray for God’s guidance and provision. Second, participate in campaign events and stay informed. Third, give sacrificially as God leads you.
