God Is More Than Able
Over twenty years ago, God gave us a vision to establish a regional church near the George Bush Turnpike to reach the ever-expanding surrounding communities. Time and time again, we have seen God provide for us to take steps to accomplish this vision and exceed our expectations. As we make disciples who connect with God and others, grow to be more like Jesus, and go in service locally and globally, we now continue to build upon that vision and desire to see God move above and beyond all that we could ask or think.
What is Beyond?
Beyond is our next step to unlocking the potential of the vision God has given us by creating welcoming spaces, focusing on the next generation, and prioritizing discipleship. This two-year initiative will provide an enhanced worship experience, improve the environments of our kids and students, and create additional upgraded discipleship space.
Our Focus
Welcoming Spaces
Create environments that invite our church family and the community around us to connect with God and one another by enhancing our in-person and online worship experience and creating more intentional and relational spaces.
Next Generation
Focusing on the ministry to our kids and students through improving the environments where worship and discipleship take place.
Prioritizing Discipleship
Developing fresh spaces and improving our current areas for teaching and discipleship opportunities.
Your Role In This Story
Beyond represents FiveStone’s next step toward unlocking the full potential of the vision God has given us. Our aim is a total renovation of the FiveStone campus through a multi-phased process. The initial phase targets raising $2.2 million. It will take the involvement of everyone who is a part of the FiveStone family. It will take faithful prayer and each of us contributing financially. We are asking you to consider your part in this ongoing story of living beyond ourselves. How will you contribute to this vision? Although the multi-phased process may seem ambitious, we believe we can achieve it with God.
We rely on your generosity to sustain our ministry year after year. In the Beyond initiative, we ask you to give above your regular tithes and contributions so that our day-to-day ministries continue. This next phase of our vision will demand trust and sacrifice. We are confident that God’s goodness will supply all our needs, aligning our hearts more closely with His as we steward the gifts entrusted to us.
Ways to Give
Our giving period will begin on May 19, 2024, and end on May 31, 2026. It will last two years and three tax seasons. If you have any questions or would like more information about these options, please get in touch with our Finance Team.

Drop cash or checks in the giving boxes around the church, or mail your gift to:

You can donate stock to our church through our designated entity. If you sell appreciated stock and donate the cash proceeds, you may be subject to long-term capital gains taxes, which can be up to 20% of the appreciated value. Donating the stock directly to the church can avoid that tax and make your gift go further!
Donor-Advised Funds, or DAFs, allow donors to make charitable contributions to a public charity, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to other organizations like FiveStone.
Are you subject to the required minimum distributions from your IRA account? A qualified charitable distribution to FiveStone Church can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution from your IRA, helping you avoid income taxes on an otherwise taxable distribution.
We can also accept other non-cash gifts, such as real estate, business interests, personal property, restricted securities, estate gifts, retirement plans, and life insurance.
