God’s Not Done…So, We’re Not Done
What is NOW?
Our two year campaign to become a place of permanence for all that God wants to do through us at TFH Napa.
TFH Napa is committed to securing its future as a permanent place of God’s presence by completing the purchase of our building in 2025, following our current lease-to-own agreement. As owners, we will gain more flexibility in the building’s use, with plans to open a professional day care center and reduce our mortgage payments to nearly half of the current lease cost, freeing up resources to better reach our community. Additionally, we aim to begin construction on 8,000 square feet of Kids Ministry space, doubling our capacity for Nursery, Toddler, and Elementary/Pre-Teen rooms to accommodate the growing number of new families joining our campus each week.
Committing to the Now!
We conclude the NOW series by inviting everyone to commit to expanding the church, inspired by King David’s faith. This journey deepens our relationship with God while building a legacy for future generations.

How Did We Get here?
In November 2009, a dream came true for The Father’s House to have a campus in Napa Valley. Over the last 10 years we have witnessed God’s hand on our campus as we grew to over 1,000 people.

How Can I Respond?
Pray and ask God how He wants you to be involved leading up to Commitment Sunday on November 10, 2024.
1. Pray
“God, what do you want to do through me?”
2. Participate
We want 100% of people who call TFH their church to participate in an equal level of sacrificial giving.
3. Commit
It’s not about equal commitments, but equal sacrifice. Step out in faith and make a commitment outside of your comfort zone, trusting that with God all things are possible.
Your total commitment of cash and/or value of assets other than cash from December 1, 2024 until the end of the two and a half year campaign on May 31, 2027.
All pledges will be kept confidential.
This is a statement of intent that may be increased or decreased at any time
Equal in Sacrifice
Living a Life of Generosity
What will owning our building do for us?
Owning our building will provide a place of permanence for decades into the future. It will enable The Father’s House Napa to secure its future and redirect lease payments into ministry. It will preserve the investment made to create our beautiful building, which functions well for our community, connection, worship, kids, and youth. We will also be able to expand into our 8,000 sq/ft space, which currently serves as storage. More importantly, it ensures that we can continue to create a welcoming atmosphere where God’s presence encounters people, and lives are transformed. Through our Now! Campaign, we will be able to establish ourselves in Napa and accommodate years of growth.
Will this new location make us a Mega-Church?
Our church is about reaching people far from God and helping them find new life in Christ. As long as God entrusts us with more hungry and hurting people, our church will always plan for growth. Embracing the misconception that large churches are somehow “bad” or that a movement of God has gotten “big enough” is a significant roadblock to Jesus’ great commission. It abandons potential. It puts limits on the movement of the Spirit. It gives an opportunity for the enemy to squelch what God wants to do through His people. We will never believe that God has “moved enough” for us. People will always find a home in the presence of God, and no matter how many thousands gather on the weekend, we will continue to grow deeper and healthier through small groups, discipleship, and relationships.
How are the other campuses going to be involved?
The Father’s House is still “One Church, Many Locations.” Vacaville is currently in the midst of its Beyond Campaign. Napa is having its own Generosity Campaign called Now! Just as we conducted our own campaign called Imagine, we are again taking on that responsibility. So now, this is OUR time again. This is OUR chance to pray and believe that God will move through US! Isn’t it exciting that our campus is going to fully support and fund (through God’s provision) an entirely new and bigger home!?
How do I grow my heart in generosity?
First and foremost, you pray and seek God’s direction on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him and then listen to what He says. Engage in personal reflection with God in this journey guide. Talk with your spouse, your family, or others about what this commitment will mean for this next exciting season of your life. Recognize that this may involve a struggle as you sense God’s call to rearrange life priorities and spending habits, and give from stored resources. But don’t be afraid; Luke 6:33 says,
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Expect your commitment to grow over time from a token, to generous, to sacrificial generosity. That is called gospel-centered generosity. Follow His leading. Finally, prepare to be amazed. We serve an awesome God, and He will move in tremendous ways.
We anticipate an unprecedented impact from our collective NOW! commitments – something only God can do. Please mark your calendar for Commitment Sunday on November 10th, and prepare to experience a life-changing worship service that will forever be remembered as a defining moment for our church and our own faith.
What should I know about my Commitment?
In NOW!, we are challenging you to grow in the practice of giving. As you consider your financial commitment over the next two years, you will want to factor in the following:
• Your commitment is above and beyond your current giving.
• It should be discerned through prayer.
• It’s not about equal giving but equal sacrifice.
• It should be planned through income, adjusted spending, income generation, and stored resources.
Many people find it helpful to reflect on their commitment using the “Five D’s of Sacrificial Commitment”:
• What can I do away with?
• What can I delay?
• What can I do more of?
• What can I donate?
• What can I deny myself?
As you can see, this is a discipleship journey that unfolds over multiple weeks. It takes time to be led by the Spirit, to grow in faith and courage, and to discover God’s will.
