As a Bible-believing church with a call to grow our influence in Omaha, we believe God has an exciting future ahead for our church. The city we live in and the world we engage in have changed dramatically over the past decade. While our mission remains the same, our reach needs to expand. Welcome to the Let’s Go initiative.
Since its inception, King of Kings has embodied a people who will do whatever it takes, both locally and globally, to be modern-day witnesses of God. We are proud to be a part of a church that boasts an incredible 60+ year history of people who have been fully reliant on God, authentic in sharing our lives, courageous in taking new ground, and generous in showing the love of God to our city and world.
From locating a church site in a warehouse and launching a kids curriculum to be shared with churches around the world, to planting a new campus in the fall of 2023 in Northwest Omaha, one could say we’ve done a lot. Why not just sit back and rest? But that isn’t the spirit that the Lord has given to us.
At the forefront of our mission is being faithful to God’s command and doing whatever it takes, even if it requires sacrifice, to be His witness to the ends of the earth. Others in our church history have gone before us, and now it’s our turn to do this for the sake of the church of the future.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8
Over the next two years, we are praying to raise 13.5 million dollars to accomplish a God-sized vision. Instead of multiple funds, we are directing all generosity toward one fund. This will cover all the things you already love about King of Kings and strategically position us to bolster and improve our current campuses while enabling us to launch new ones.
Our primary goal is 100% engagement. We want every single person to take his or her next step in discipleship and grow in generosity throughout this initiative.
$7.5 Million
This represents our current operating budget for the next two years as we invest in the ongoing ministries at King of Kings. Through your faith and generosity, we will continue to see lives transformed through what God is already doing in kids, students, and adults.
$1.15 Million
We want to invest in the next generation by putting $250,000 toward Student & Kids Ministry at our I Street Campus and $100,000 toward Student & Kids Ministry at our Northwest Campus. This will enable us to provide more engaging and relevant ministry to the next generation. Additionally, $800,000 will go toward facility maintenance and improvements at our I Street Campus.
$4 Million
The best way to reach new people for Jesus and activate faith in current believers is by planting new churches and opening new campuses. We have worked diligently over the past several years to build healthy ministries at King of Kings and are ready to expand what God is doing here with two new campuses.
$600,000
For the past three years, we’ve set apart three weeks of the year to love others generously by giving above and beyond our tithe to organizations in our community and around the world. Whether it’s buying drones for the Omaha Police and Fire Departments, providing housing for refugees, or supporting global missions in India, Cambodia, and Guatemala, the impact is long-lasting and far-reaching. This $600,000 budget enables us to continue the impact of All In without an additional financial request from families during the Let’s Go initiative.
$250,000
This covers the cost of all aspects of the capital initiative, including design, print, video, and events.
You said that this capital initiative is going to use a One Fund approach. What do you mean by that?
The primary goal for this initiative is 100 percent engagement. We want every single person who is a part of King of Kings to take his or her next step in discipleship and grow in generosity. Using a One Fund approach, King of Kings will direct all generosity toward one fund, instead of multiple funds. This will include our two-year operating budget as well as money for future site expansion, special projects, and All In giving.
The congregation of King of Kings, under the leadership of the Foundation Board and the Board of Lay Ministry, chose to retain and invest the principal from the sale of the land and use the accrued interest to support new campuses and new ministry at King of Kings. This interest will continue to generate money for King of Kings for years into the future.
Even if we had retained the land, a second initiative would have been needed to develop the land and build on it. This is that second initiative. We are also funding new campuses in different locations, rather than building one facility on the land that had been purchased.
During this two-year period, every contribution to God’s work through King of Kings is a contribution to the Let’s Go initiative. Therefore, every Sunday becomes an opportunity to participate and contribute toward what God is doing in and through King of Kings to empower this vision.
Prepare your heart to hear God and then listen to what He says. Engage in personal reflection with God in this guidebook. Talk with your spouse, your family, or others about what this commitment will mean for this next season of your life. Whatever it is that God is calling you to do, we ask that you follow His lead. Finally, we ask that you prepare to be amazed. We serve an awesome God, and He is going to move in huge ways. We anticipate an unprecedented impact from our collective Let’s Go commitments—something only God can do!
Let’s Go was crafted specifically with you in mind! Let’s Go is a one fund generosity initiative. It’s different from an old-fashioned fundraising drive, where you are called to give an extra gift above and beyond your normal giving—creating two steps for people who aren’t yet giving. Let’s Go is a call to sacrificial, Gospel-centered generosity for absolutely everyone at King of Kings. If you have never given before, this is your chance to be a part of something big with a committed sacrifice. We really hope you will.
Let’s Go is about the vision of our church and the spiritual practice of giving as followers of Jesus. We believe that the local church is the hope of the world. We would love for you to make King of Kings your home and join us in Let’s Go. If you are ready for it, this is a perfect time for you to put a stake in the ground and make this your church.
We are asking that everyone make a two-year commitment. We all come together to present our commitment cards on Commitment Sunday, November 10. The fulfillment period for your commitment will begin on December 1, 2024, and it will culminate on December 1, 2026.
Contributions can be made online or via cash, check, and electronic fund transfer from your bank. Additional forms of contributions include stocks, bonds, trusts, property, or other assets of that nature. You may have other resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He might be calling you to give during this time. Please let us know if you need assistance facilitating gifts of property or stock, and we would be happy to help you. Contact the church office if you have questions at 402.333.6464.
The widow who gave her last coin did not make a very big financial contribution, but Jesus said she gave the largest gift of all (Mark 12:41– 44). All commitments made to the Let’s Go initiative matter, regardless of the amount, because as we all participate according to our ability, God multiplies our giving, no matter the size of the gift, to do miraculous work. Biblical giving is about equal sacrifice for everyone, not equal amounts. Following God’s direction is the most important part of this process.
Giving isn’t about what God wants from you; rather, it’s about what God wants for you. It should be our joy and privilege to give at all times. If you are struggling with a large amount of debt or dealing with a recent job loss, you are responsible to care for yourself and your family through this difficult time. Spend time in prayer about the next step God is calling you to take and make a decision after that. Please contact the church office if you need assistance with this. We would be honored to work with you.
