Reach | Equip | Defend
A note from Doug Walker Senior Pastor
Thank you for being a leader at Fellowship of the Parks. When you serve, you contribute to the vision of reaching spiritually disconnected people with the gospel, equipping them to lead their families and defending those in need. As we prepare to celebrate our 30th Anniversary, I am excited to share how we will increase our IMPACT as a church through a 3-year initiative: My FOTP 30.
GOAL
We want to raise $6 million between now and the end of 2026! To reach our goal and fully fund every aspect of our initiative, we ask everyone to make a one-time offering followed by a three-year pledge
IMPACT
Reach
Add a 6th Campus: New campuses in new places are the most significant way to reach new people. We want to see an FOTP campus in every school district and would love to launch our next campus in Decatur, TX.
Plant Churches in India: FOTP has partnered with New Hope Ministries and Pastor Prabhudas in India for years. $40,000 will build and staff a new church in India. Our goal is one a year, but wouldn't it be awesome if we planted ten over three years?! Someone at FOTP has already funded the first one!
Equip
Next Generation: Young Adult Ministry - we will provide ministry funds towards equipping and empowering those seeking a deeper relationship with God and one another.
Next Generation: ADVANCE - My FOTP 30 will provide a ministry track for student leadership development. Students will lead FOTP Kids Summer Events, Camps, and Urban Campus Launch.
Enhancing Marriage & Family Ministry: Increase focus on newlyweds, blended families, marriage intensive, and resources for churches in Tarrant and Denton counties.
Defend
Mental Health Initiative: Through My FOTP 30, we will encourage individuals with mental illness, educate family members and equip church leaders to provide effective and compassionate care.
Enhancing FOTP Orphan Care: Increase social media presence to offer value and updated resources on our website. Partners will provide training for respite care, and we'll continue to partner with CASA and impact families through Hope Works, Bed Builds, and Joseph's Closet.
Campuses
Grapevine will see some furnishing/space updates and debt reduction.
Haslet will receive furnishing/space updates, expansion, and debt reduction.
North Fort Worth will receive furnishing/space updates and debt reduction.
Northlake will have an expanded auditorium and student and children's space.
Bedford will complete safety projects, and capital improvements to expand our ministry impact, including a weekly preschool program.
Your Commitment
Please begin to pray and consider how you will contribute to MY FOTP 30. As a leader at FOTP, we ask you to make your initial gift and three-year commitment on or before September 2. Your early commitment will allow us to announce that we are on the way to reaching our goal before our 30th Anniversary Celebration on September 30 – October 1. In addition, your commitment will serve as a great source of encouragement to our church as our leaders take the first step in sacrificial giving.
