We want to build up 100 new leaders to be vocational ministers, missionaries and community leaders with a mission to reach Phoenix, the world and future generations for Christ.

Jesus calls the church to bear witness to his goodness, love and grace in tangible, relational ways. This happens as disciples are called, equipped and deployed to serve as leaders within DSBC, the workplace, in communities and around the world with the message of the gospel.

Raising up new leaders from within our community requires developing and nurturing deep, robust partnerships with other Jesus-centered churches and organizations, and a long-term discipleship program designed to identify and train ministers, lay-leaders, vocational pastors and missionaries.

As a core value of Build100, DSBC is committed to deepening our leadership development processes to equip our community – people of all ages, socio-economic status and cultures – to understand God’s word and apply the gospel in all of life.

Pursuing unreached people will require a fresh, new ministry approach to engage people wherever they are in life. Our desire is to develop creative new ministry settings for leaders to engage unreached people and help them discover Jesus in ways that are safe, respectful and educational for all parties involved.

We want to build 100% more multi-use space on our campus for all people to gather and grow.

Authentic relationships, spiritual growth and loving accountability happen best in the context of community. We are blessed to have an expanding church family that desires to connect and grow together. However, due simply to our building capacity, our campus is not able to accommodate this growth, and we are currently having to forego powerful discipleship and outreach opportunities due to spacing limitations. That’s why a critical component of our commitment to increasing DSBC’s legacy of blessing in North Phoenix is building 100% more multi-use space.

We envision a multi-purpose building adjacent to our Worship Center that will allow us to be better ministers to our congregation and neighbors to our community. This would provide a space for our students to worship and grow, for our children and families to gather for fun, Jesus-centered events, for our congregation to be ministered to through Bible studies, group discussions and leadership development. By building 100% more multi-use space, we will have the opportunity to say yes to every child, every adult, every family that wants to join our church family, seek refuge and be part of all God is doing in and through DSBC.

But just as importantly, we envision a place for our community to be blessed by hosting weddings, funerals, financial workshops, marriage seminars and providing usable space for artist events, council meetings, concerts and more. This new building better allows us to put into practice what Jesus teaches, that we are blessed to be a blessing.

We want to build, rebuild or refurbish 100 homes for under-resourced families in our community so that they may flourish and grow.

For our community to truly flourish, families of all shapes and sizes need healthy, safe home environments. Our church family has been substantially involved in serving under-resourced families in our community for decades by providing food and nourishment, tutoring and job training, and pastoral care and support. While these various acts of service are vital to the health of our community, we know that many of those who are served find it difficult to take full advantage of these ministries due to unsafe dwellings.

We have been praying, along with dozens of other North Phoenix Churches, that God would provide an organization we partner with to help serve our neighbors by providing safe, secure housing for families in need in our community. We believe Habitat for Humanity is that partner.
