The Arrowhead Church we know and love today didn’t just happen.
It has taken years of people praying, trusting, and giving together. And the same is true as we look ahead.
That is the heart of the Step Forward 2026 Pledge. Each of us will make a decision before God about what we will give to our church’s general fund in 2026. These pledges provide for weekly ministry, expand our mission reach, create space for more people to gather, and make possible the planting of a new church in Kingsport.
God has something to say to all of us about money and generosity. He calls us to live with open hands, to invest in His Kingdom, and to trust Him with our resources. Whether your step is beginning, strengthening, or deepening your giving, this is the moment to take it. The Step Forward 2026 Pledge is your chance to ask God what obedience looks like in your finances and then move in faith. Giving is gaining. God will use your obedience to change lives.
Goal:
$650,000 in 2026
Where we’re headed in 2026
Construction
Ground work began this year on our new auditorium, which will almost double our ministry space and provide much needed room on Sundays. The project is partially financed, and every Step Forward 2026 Pledge helps lower what we borrow and build with strength.
Missions
In 2026, we’re increasing our missions + outreach budgets to nearly $50,000, supporting local ministry partners and expanding international trips around the world. Every Step Forward 2026 Pledge helps send people, fund partners, and advance the gospel locally and globally.
Church Planting
We’re planting Arrowhead Kingsport with Pastor Ryan Lovelace, who grew up in Kingsport and has served on our Morristown team for years. With over $100,000 in support from the Arrowhead family of churches, this new congregation will launch its first services in January 2027. Every Step Forward 2026 Pledge helps send people, resources, and the gospel to a new community.
Your Step Forward
Everything we’ve shared—continued growth, construction, church planting, and missions—depends on one thing: all of us stepping forward together. The Step Forward 2026 Pledge is how we do that. Each person and family is being asked to pray, listen to God, and decide what they will give to the general fund in 2026. Every pledge makes a difference and brings us closer to seeing this vision come to life.
We’ll all make our giving pledges by December 31, 2025.
Our 2026 Budget
Our 2026 budget reflects our commitment to faithful stewardship and growth. Developed by our Financial Deacon Team in partnership with our Executive Pastor, this draft budget outlines how every dollar is planned to fuel ministry, support staff, grow facilities, and advance our mission. Administrative expenses primarily serve the Arrowhead Church Network, providing shared resources across all congregations. We invite you to explore the interactive chart (not on a mobile device) and celebrate how generosity is fueling ministry at every level.
