52 PROJECT FAQ

 

What is the 52 Project?

OUR STORY IS PARALLEL TO THE NEHEMIAH STORY

So on October 2 the wall was finished—just fifty-two days after we had begun. Nehemiah 6:15 NLT

This project is about at least 600 people choosing to be apart of West Point Church’s vision, contributing $300 or more toward the down payment of 58 acres of land (Hwy 49/Old Airport Rd). We believe that in a 52-day time span God will provide for us the necessary funds to close on the land.

 

What will this land purchase enable us to accomplish?

This land acquisition is priority at the moment in moving us toward a 3-year master plan that includes our Hartfield Rd campus as well as our Palmers Crossing campus. The 3-year master plan will be shared with you in 2016.

 

What research was done to support the decision to carry out this project?

Our vision has always been to reach people beyond the west side of Hattiesburg and all of the Pine Belt. Over the past 2 years, we have leased facilities in southeast Hattiesburg while researching and praying for land. During our research, we discovered that the average cost of land is $20,000 to $30,000 per acre. In the month of September 2015, while negotiating on another property, we were made aware of the 52 Project land. After prayer and negotiation, we reached the purchase price agreement of $10,775.00 per acre (acquiring all 58 acres was the condition for this purchase price).

 

Must I give?

One of the fundamental responsibilities of our faith is that of supporting the church and committing ourselves to the church’s mission and vision for the benefit of the whole community. Every member of the church is invited to give consideration to his/her own responsibility for its support.
