Where Are We Going?

​In June 2020, after many months of prayer and disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Foundations Church was able to relocate to the southeastern part of Williamsburg, close to the I-64/Penniman Rd. corridor. This is the heart of an under-served community with only a handful of vibrant gospel-centered churches — a community to which we have been called since we first began meeting publicly in September 2018.

Although our current home is Magruder Elementary School, our vision - since 2019 - has been to secure access to the former J.C. Penney Building at 500 Marquis Parkway — a building that would allow us to serve far greater numbers of children, youth and adults, not just on Sundays but throughout the week.
​
As we actively pursue the purchase of this building, our goal is to give our growing church family a sense of stability and permanence as we boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ among the 96% of Greater Williamsburg that have no regular church home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Marquis Parkway?

Over 32,000 people live and work within a five-mile radius of Marquis Pkwy., while hundreds of new housing units are currently under construction nearby. It is less than 15 minutes from the gates of Fort Eustis, putting Foundations Church within easy reach of an additional 30,000 active duty servicemen and women and their families. The Apostle Paul speaks of his ambition to preach the gospel in places where Christ is not yet known, lest he "build on another man's foundation" (Romans 15:20). The heart of Foundations Church is to do the same: to know Jesus Christ and make Him known among those who don't yet know Him in order to make disciples, raise leaders and plant churches.

What Do We Need?

After more than three years of diligent work, we have secured zoning approvals, the necessary architectural plans and bank financing to enable us to close on the building during the summer of 2023. Our goal is to satisfy the remaining purchase conditions swiftly and conduct initial renovations by the end of the year.

We are believing the Lord for $3.5 million by the end of 2024 to enable us to renovate the remaining spaces debt-free and establish a landmark church presence in the heart of the historic triangle that will make disciples, touch America and reach the nations. 

What About Debt?

Since we launched publicly in September 2018, the Lord has blessed Foundations Church. He has enabled us to meet all of our obligations, pay back our start-up funds and put money aside in savings. What's more, we've already made a great start towards our immediate fundraising goals. Wherever possible we remain committed paying for the necessary plans, approvals and renovations as we go and fully believe that the Lord will provide everything we need to occupy the space with minimal reliance on debt. This will help us protect our investment and enable us to continue our work of proclaiming the gospel debt-free.
