HEART FOR THE HOUSE 2026
Our theme for this year’s Heart For The House Campaign centers around Jesus’ Famous Last Words. Why? Because last words carry weight. And before Jesus returned to the Father, He didn’t leave His followers with a list of rules. He left them with a mission: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20).
Those words have shaped every step of Home Church so far, and they will shape every step ahead.
From the beginning, Home Church has had one clear mission: to lead people to fully follow Jesus by moving them from consumer to participant. Four years ago this started small, in living rooms, conversations, and prayers, and God has been faithful to grow His church each step of the way.

FOR OUR CITY
Over the past four years, we’ve set aside the third Sunday of every month to worship through serving at FOR Day. Instead of gathering for a traditional service, our church family steps out to meet real needs in our community. Through local projects, our Spanish service, and partnerships with both local and global organizations, we’ve built meaningful relationships and shared the love of Jesus in practical ways.
Beyond FOR Day, we’ve continued to create spaces where our city can come together. One of the ways we do this is through our close partnership with Vickery Mill Elementary and Esther Jackson Elementary, two Title 1 schools in our community. Through these partnerships, we’ve been able to meet tangible needs for students and families while building relationships that point them to Jesus and the hope of His love.

SOCIAL HOUSE ROSWELL
WHAT IT IS & WHO IT REACHES:
Social House is a nonprofit venue established, part of a larger movement called Missional Spaces, launched out of Home Church Roswell in October of 2025. Driven by the mission of Jesus in Matthew 5 and Matthew 25, we aim to bring the light and compassion of the Gospel into our community through missional churches and mission-minded businesses.
Every event hosted helps provide housing for individuals and families in need right here in the community. Earlier this year, we received an inquiry about a funeral and saw this as an opportunity to let the missional space be used for what it was created for. We were able to offer the facility for free, as well as pastor them through the difficulty and questions of losing their family member to suicide. This year we also hosted a fundraiser for Together with Families — an organization that fights to keep children with parents in poverty with the families and not send them to the foster system.
FOR THE WORLD
The movement of the church is a global movement, and your generosity allowed us to financially support partners in Lebanon and Peru, providing relief aid in the Middle East and education for kids in Peru. We’ve also been able to support struggling families here in the U.S. too. Your giving covered the cost of leaders who led teams providing respite for families affected by disability and childhood cancer.
Each year, we continue to support three key global mission partners:
Research consistently shows that planting new churches is one of the most effective ways to reach people far from God. As a church plant ourselves, we believe in planters, and our vision is to invest in a church plant launch in every state in the U.S. We currently support Gem City Church, Spirit Church, Way Church, and … and because of your generosity, you’re part of their story.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Four years ago, Home Church began with a conviction that a church could grow out of a Title I school and become a home for its neighborhood. In 2027, we’re going to do it again. Selah Roswell will gather at Esther Jackson Elementary on the east side of Roswell, a school our church has already been serving through FOR Days. Its mission is to help people find rest and restoration in Jesus, with an intentional focus on east-side families and the recovery community. Sundays will look a little different: a two-hour gathering that ends around the table with a family meal, every week. Where Home Church took its cues from the trees of Roswell, Selah takes its cues from the Chattahoochee. It has a different name, a different place, and different people, but it belongs to the same family, with shared values and shared ministry. Selah isn’t a departure from what God has done here. It’s the next chapter of it.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
MAKE YOUR COMMITMENT
On November 8, we’ll invite our whole church to commit to Heart for the House. Take the weeks before to pray about what your part looks like.
1
COMPLETE IT BY DECEMBER 31
Give all at once or over the rest of the year, whichever fits your household.
2
Your HFTH giving will go towards:
Refreshing our kids’ environments: Updated spaces that tell every child, from the moment they walk in, that they were expected.
Launching three new outreach moments: Family Fun Day, Holiday Feasts, and BS2B are new ways to open our doors wide and walk out of them, too.
Publishing Adventure of a Lifetime: This is our own 365-day devotional, written for our church. It’s a year of walking with God together, starting with Abraham and Moses: ordinary people who said yes to a God who called them somewhere new.
Giving away The Purpose Driven Life: Part of our 2027 discipleship journey: a simple, proven starting point for anyone asking what their life is for.
Every number started with someone who decided to give. Thank you for being part of what God has done here, and what He’s doing next.
JESUS’ LAST WORDS WERE CLEAR:
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20)
And it’s our mission to see it through to the very ends of the earth.
PRAY
for the right pastoral staff
for favor in East Roswell
for lost people to be saved
for a move of God in our city.
