Project One: The Neighborhood Degree Center
We are going to build a community center in the Houston Neighborhood to help us move Visalia forward, one student at a time.
For over fifteen years, Neighborhood Church has partnered with families in the Houston community. We’ve crossed cultural and socioeconomic boundaries to build relationships, host dialog, and work together as neighbors to make life better for kids.
We’ve mentored students, resourced families, hosted parties, sent students to college, and even built a park! We’re so grateful for everything we’ve accomplished together with our Houston friends…but we’re not done yet.
This year, we are celebrating the 75th birthday of Neighborhood Church. We’re marking this milestone with a radical, fresh commitment of friendship with the Houston community.
How? Well, we’re literally going to move into the neighborhood!
You’re invited to partner with us as we launch The Neighborhood Community Center— a space where friendships are forged and our city is transformed. By investing directly in the Houston area, we are showing a commitment to our neighbors for generations to come.
Project Two: The Commons
We are renovating Room One into a brand-new Cafe and community space that will help us continue to be FOR Visalia.
At Neighborhood, Community is the center of our life. The Commons is a new space we’re creating to share with our city. By renovating existing space with others in mind, our campus will grow in its capacity to show hospitality and friendship.
The renovation will also include a new Cafe, communal space, and outdoor seating. As we continue to host more local events and organizations, we want to share as much ground as possible. The Commons is also a place where community and discipleship will thrive. By creating more space for small groups, classes, labs, and workshops—we create a space for everyone to go, regardless of their story or background.
As we give ground to our city, we grow in our capacity to inspire people, wherever they are, to live like Jesus wherever they go.
