01The plan

It starts with a blueprint.

Before the concrete. Before the steel. Before the doors ever open. We’re making room for people.

02Foundation

Imperfect people. A perfect God.

That’s what we’re building on.

03Walls

I found hope here.

Every number has a name. Every name has a story.

04Steel

Our marriage was restored.

This is what we’re making room for.

05Rising

Know God. Live on purpose. Go change the world.

More room means more people get the chance to know God, live on purpose, and go change the world.

06The name

This is Red Rocks Church.

Not because of the building. Because of the people inside it.

07Building Stories

We’re making room for stories only God can write.

More room for people to know God, live on purpose, and go change the world.

A building rises piece by piece. Each concrete panel and steel beam is engraved with a story from Red Rocks Church that opens as a video, and the finished building carries the Red Rocks Church logo.

What is Building Stories?

We’re buying and building churches.

Why? Because we believe the local church is the greatest evangelistic tool on the planet.

BUILDINGS ARE ABOUT PEOPLE.

Every number has a name. Every name has a story. Stories of redemption, purpose, healing, belonging, and hope. It’s time to build and make room for more of them.

    Buying our buildings back from the bank

    Our financial vision is to hand off one of the largest churches in the country to the next generation, debt-free.

  3. 20NEPAL

    Building 20 churches in Nepal

    Our mission has always been to go change the world. As we build locally, our generosity helps create church homes for people to encounter Jesus around the world.

Our two-year goal
$19.7MILLION

Over the next two years, Building Stories will help us invest in a new Aurora location, reduce the debt on all our buildings, help build churches around the world, and accelerate the vision of making Heaven more crowded by building the team and boosting our operational capacity.

One campaign. Many churches.Generations of stories still to be written.

We’re making room for stories only God can write.

One simple question

God, what are you asking me to give?

For some, that means a monthly commitment. For others, it means giving from savings, stock, or another asset God has entrusted to them. Many will do both. No single amount defines generosity. We want everyone to pray, decide, and follow through.

1 Timothy 6:18–19
“Do good, be rich in good deeds, and be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.”

What’s my part?

This is something we get to build together.

  1. 01

    Ask God.

    Pray about one question: what are you asking me to give?

  2. 02

    Decide your commitment.

    Choose a first gift, a two-year commitment, or both.

  3. 03

    Take your place in the story.

    Follow through, and watch what God builds with it.

How can I give?

First gift

Start strong.

Consider an initial gift that helps us begin Building Stories strong. It can come from cash, savings, stocks, cryptocurrency, real estate, or other assets.

Two-year commitment

Give on repeat.

Choose a recurring amount to give consistently over the next 24 months: monthly, quarterly, annually, or on another schedule that works for you.

You can do either, or a combination of both.

What is Building Stories?

Building Stories is a two-year generosity campaign at Red Rocks Church (RRC). Together we’re buying a new Aurora location, paying down the debt on our buildings, building 20 churches in Nepal, and growing the team that helps make Heaven more crowded.

Why is a church buying buildings?

Because buildings are about people. Every seat is a chance for someone who’s never been to church to walk in, find community, and meet Jesus. The more room we have, the more crowded Heaven can get.

What’s the difference between a first gift and a two-year commitment?

A first gift is a one-time gift to start the campaign strong, often from savings or assets like stock or crypto. A two-year commitment is a recurring amount you give over the next 24 months. You can do either, or both.

Does this replace my regular giving?

Building Stories is a separate commitment from your regular giving. Our regular giving keeps the ministry running every weekend; Building Stories makes room for what’s next.

How much should I give?

No single amount defines generosity. We’re asking everyone to pray one question, “God, what are you asking me to give?”, then decide and follow through.

How can I see how much I’ve given toward my commitment?

Your Red Rocks giving statement in Rock is the best place to see your overall progress toward your Building Stories commitment.

Why does Pushpay show something different from my Red Rocks giving statement?

Pushpay is our primary platform for online giving, but your Red Rocks giving statement is the most complete record of your giving and Building Stories commitment progress.

Your Red Rocks giving statement includes gifts made through Pushpay, as well as other ways of giving, like cash or check. Because of this, the totals you see in Pushpay may look different.

For the most accurate view of your overall giving and Building Stories commitment progress, refer to your Red Rocks giving statement.

I made a commitment. Will a separate gift to Building Stories count toward it?

Yes. If you make a gift designated to the Building Stories fund, that gift can be reflected as progress toward your Building Stories commitment in Rock.

For example, if you make a $500 commitment and later give a $50 one-time gift to the Building Stories fund, Rock can reflect that gift as $50 of progress toward your commitment.

Is my commitment legally binding?

No. A commitment reflects your current intention and is used for budgeting and planning purposes only.

Can I give stock, crypto, or other assets?

Yes. We accept ACH, cash, check, stock, cryptocurrency, appreciated assets, and other non-cash gifts. For non-cash gifts, email giving@redrockschurch.com.

Can I change my commitment later?

Life changes. If your situation changes, email giving@redrockschurch.com and we’ll help you update your commitment.

Please note that commitments can only be changed manually by our team. Please allow some time for the change to take effect.

“Let us rise up and build.”

NEHEMIAH 2:18
