Our Inspiration
Imagine a place where families are nourished, faith is strengthened, and dignity is restored. This is the heart of our “Greater Things” Manna Building Campaign. It’s about more than providing immediate needs; it’s about walking alongside our guests as they grow and thrive. It’s about being the hands and feet of Jesus in tangible, life-changing ways.
This two-year campaign seeks to raise $6 million (over and above annual giving) from the Cherry Hills Community Church families. Every financial commitment will support this shared goal of creating a welcoming, functional, and secure environment for our ministries.
The construction of the new Manna Building and the associated projects are not just about brick and mortar; they are about creating spaces where lives can be changed. These new facilities will provide dignified, dedicated spaces for those who are struggling to find their way, offering them not just assistance, but hope and a path towards self-sufficiency.
The enhancements to our church kitchen, preschool hallway, and overall campus security will ensure that we can serve our community effectively and safely.
This vision can only become a reality through the prayerful and sacrificial commitment of each one of us. Our goal is to raise $6 million over the next two years, a target that is achievable with the collective effort of our church family. Every gift, no matter the size, is a vital contribution to this mission. Together, we can build hope, serve our community, and transform lives through the power of Jesus Christ.
Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these...
John 14:12

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
It’s a church-wide effort to support the construction of a new Manna Care Market and Resource Center for the marginalized and under-served in our community. Additional improvements to the main church building will be made to facilitate Sunday school growth and campus parking.
The Manna Building is projected to open in 2025. Improvements to the main campus building are projected to finish by Fall 2026.
Since the Manna Building will be constructed in the parking lot, some outer parking spaces will be lost. After the new building is finished, campus entry points and parking will be re-imagined to best serve weekly traffic flow and address parking needs.
Aside from outer parking and possibly secondary parking lot entry point, no. Manna Care Market will continue to operate out of the church lobby and Manna Resource Center will continue to use their current space until the new building is finished.
DON’T WE ALREADY GIVE TO CHURCH AND MANNA?
Tithes, offerings, and other gifts support the evangelistic and disciple-making missions of Cherry Hills Community Church and the purchase of food to stock our market, but they do not usually pay for new facilities. Improving our campus has always involved additional – even sacrificial – giving from the Cherry Hills Family.
Prayerfully consider the right amount to give, knowing this is a significant project requiring equal sacrifice of everyone involved. Gifts will range from hundreds to millions of dollars. Your financial and family situation will influence your decision. Remember, we are asking for gifts over and above what you already plan to give the church or Manna. See the Greater Things pledge form for more guidance.
Any way you would give to Cherry Hills Community Church or Manna Care is acceptable. Checks may be written to Cherry Hills Community Church and designated for the Greater Things campaign. Transfers of stock or other assets may also be arranged through the Business Office: 303.791.4100.
To fulfill your pledge, you can give with a check or online. If you give with a check, just placed “Greater Things” in the memo line. If you choose to give online, choose the “Greater Things” option in the drop down menu on PushPay.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO PAY OFF A CAMPAIGN PLEDGE?
Pledges can be made in-person or online and can be paid over two years.
