A Message From Our Senior Pastor
2
Dear Church Family,
Reflec ng back on this past year, I am so very thankful to the Lord for the con nuing opportuni es He’s given us to
fulfill our 2020 Vision of “using all means to invite people of all ages, ethnici es and backgrounds into a life-transforming
rela onship with God through Jesus Christ.” We’ve seen spiritual and numerical growth at Orchard Community Church
(our chuch plant in Northeast Escondido), in our Spanish-language Service here on our campus, and at our Bridge and
Neighborhood Ministries which provides tutoring services, ESL training for Spanish speaking parents, and biblical
counseling for community families. These ministries have allowed us to connect families with our EFCC programs, and
some have come to faith in Christ! Glory to God that He has been empowering and using our efforts to transform lives!
As I look forward to this next year, I sense God is calling us all to look beyond ourselves and what He has done in the
past to what He wants and is able to do in the future. The convic on comes from Ephesians 3:20-21, “Now to Him who
is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him
be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all genera ons forever and ever. Amen.”
That’s what the “Beyond!” campaign
is all about. Your church leadership is
convinced God is calling us forward
– beyond “pre y good” to a dynamic
personal rela onship with Him and a
maximizing of our ministry impact for
Him. He’s ready to move us
beyond in the training of our church
family, serving in our community
and changing our world.
Training our family • Serving our community • Changing our world
Why those three areas? We all know
we’re in an ongoing moral ba le for the minds and souls of people in a culture that is growing more and more spiritually
dark. That’s especially evident with our children and youth. Because of that, God is calling us to go beyond what we’re
doing right now in the training of our children so that our youngest genera on is resourced to stand firm on the Holy
Scriptures. Beloved, we must win this fight!
This ministry priority has been a constant “growth trigger” throughout our church’s history. As we’ve trained the younger
genera on, we also impacted their parents, grandparents and extended family members for Christ. It’s why we built the
children’s facili es first on this campus in the early ’70s, and paid cash for our Youth Center in the early ’80s.
Now, we’re being called to go beyond to create more ministry space in a secure, two-story children’s building so that
babies through sixth grade can be trained to be godly witnesses for genera ons to come.
Looking beyond can be fraught with fear and anxiety, but our God is able and wan ng to do beyond what we can even
conceive of! If we follow Him by faith, He’ll do the work in and through us so that He gets the glory for generaƟons to
come. Now that’s a future I’m ready to dive into!
In order to be prepared for all this, the Board of Elders has asked me to take a summer-long sabba cal (my first in 37
years!), star ng May 27. As always, the word of God will be preached by various members of our EFCC staff, focusing
on the theme “Living Right in an Upside Down World” from the Sermon on the Mount.
This summer, I’ll spend me with the Lord: reading, praying and thinking. I’ll visit other pastors and ministries locally
and around the country; and then spend me res ng with my dear Marsha. When I return on September 3/4, I’ll share
with you what God has been pressing on my heart about what it looks like to live “Beyond!”
God’s call is clear! So let’s do this together!
Pastor Dennis

From Our Board of Elders
Going Beyond to Reach the Next GeneraƟon
Please join with us as we pray for our church family to respond to God’s call to go beyond — to a deeper personal faith and a
greater corporate impact — by training our church family, serving our community and changing our world. A er many months of
working with an architectural firm specializing in church designs and ge ng input from the Elder Board, staff and congrega on,
we now have a Master Facility Plan (MFP) that has been approved by both the City of Escondido and our EFCC Board of Elders.
Our new Master Facility Plan includes four phases, and the Elders approved moving forward on the first two phases, star ng
with a two-story Children’s Ministry space. When Faith Kids moves from the Nursery and Educa on Center, this will open up
downstairs classrooms for Adult Fellowships and Bible studies. We’ll also be expanding the Holy Grounds Café and Courtyard to
provide more opportuni es, where spiritual connec ons and conversa ons happen.
Here’s what our pastoral and lay Board of Elders are saying ...
“I am convinced not only that we should do this, but that we must do this if we
want this church to con nue to reach families and influence our community for
Christ over the next 75 years. I see the Master Facility Plan vision as a wonderful
affirma on that Emmanuel Faith is invested in raising up future genera ons to
know and love Jesus. — Josh Rose
”
“I believe that this will inspire others to par
family over 25 years ago.”— John Waring
cipate more ac vely in their Chris an lives, as it did with me and my
“The plans we have for improving our campus will give us more and be
er opportuni es to engage with the community and make Emmanuel Faith a more invi ng
place to visit. — Chris Dull
”
“This is not just about building something new and nice, but about building ‘spiritual somebodies.’ This is about a
place where the building that goes on is for the bringing of the good news — building faithful followers of Christ and
future leaders. That future begins with the investment we make in His work today. — John Wojnicki
”
“I believe a new or remodeled facility can be a tool to facilitate our ambi
on to
follow God’s desires for us. God has given our local assembly the unique privilege
to be a light in North County and the means to significantly overhaul our facility
for even greater opportunity to carry out Scriptures’ instruc ons for displaying
Christ in our community. — Brian Jung
”
From Our Board of Elders

“By inves
ng in improved facili es for our children, I am convinced we can do an even be er job of preparing children
to take their place in the world as fully commi ed followers of Christ, both locally and globally. — Dave Hall
”
“As co-laborers in the building of God’s kingdom, this Master Facility Plan is one of
the most prac cal tools for building disciples who can lead others into a rela onship
with Jesus in our local community and around the world. — Jaisen Fuson
”
“As an elementary Sunday school teacher over the past 20 years, I have experienced the limita
ons we have due
to the age, size and condi ons of our current children’s buildings. By star ng with the children’s buildings we will be
able to con nue to provide a solid spiritual founda on for our children and provide a larger, safer, more free-flowing
invi ng campus that will consolidate our en re children’s ministry in one building. — Mike Snodgrass
”
“The Master Facility Plan provides many opportuni
es:
• To con nue the legacy of those who have gone before us, living generously and
sacrificially, while faithfully stewarding the resources the Master has entrusted to
this congrega on.
• To trust the Spirit’s leading in new ways as we train and launch future genera ons
into kingdom work throughout North County and the world. — Steve France
”
“God led us to our 2020 Vision that says we will be a church family ‘that risks using all means to invite people of all
ages, ethnici es and backgrounds into a life-transforming rela onship with God through Jesus Christ.’ It’s a great
goal that will require greater steps of faith. We must address the obstacles to future growth when it comes to more
ministry space for star ng new worship services, new church plants and new ministries. — Greg Lane
”
“I am convinced that God is again leading EFCC to invest in a campus where future
genera ons of families can bring their children to learn about Jesus in a safe and
welcoming environment. This master facility plan will increase our capabili es to
teach and train our youth, which will have eternal impact on our community and
eventually throughout the world for genera ons to come and beyond.
— Marcel de Neve

“Beyond” & Master Facility Plan FAQs

Answers to Some Frequently Asked Ques ons
God is able to do abundantly BEYOND what we expect — more than we could think or imagine! As a church family our goal is
to “honor God by living like Jesus,” responding to God’s call to go beyond to a deeper personal faith and a greater corporate
impact — by training our church family, serving our community and changing our world. With this in mind, the Board of Elders is
convinced that the Lord would have us prepare ourselves and this church campus for greater impact both now and in the future.
Thank you for taking me to learn and pray about how this process can enhance our role for God’s glory. Below are just some of
the FAQs that are available at www.efcc.org/faqs. Find out more about the vision and plan at www.efcc.org/beyond.
WHY DO WE NEED A NEW MASTER FACILITY PLAN?
In October 1939, 200 men, women and children met at Central
Elementary School in Escondido to start a church guided by the Word
of God. Soon a er, Emmanuel Faith was mee ng in the Escondido
Women’s Club House. Even back then, we were star ng to live out
our current 2020 Vision statement, being “a church that risks using all
means to invite people of all ages, ethnici es and backgrounds into a
life-transforming rela onship with God through Jesus Christ.” As the
love of God poured out from the congrega on into the community,
the growing church family moved to a new church property at 7th and
Maple in Escondido. Within a couple of decades, the ministry at the
church con nued to expand, and more and more people flocked to the
church that was becoming well-known for its strong Bible teaching.
As we outgrew those facili es, God placed it on the heart of the
church leadership to develop our first Master Facility Plan for our
current property, breaking ground in 1971. The construc on of the
Chapel in 2006 was the final phase of that original plan. As EFCC con nued to grow, included in our 2020 Vision was the crea on
of a new Master Facility Plan, one that will allow us to con nue to grow and meet the spiritual needs of our surrounding
community. In October 2015, a er considerable prayer and discussion, the Board of Elders approved this new Master Facility
Plan to ensure that we con nue to impact future genera ons for Christ.
By star ng with the children’s area in Phase 1, we will be able to a ract more people in their 20s, 30s and 40s within our
community who desperately need to hear about our loving, forgiving, merciful Savior. While we are commi ed to reaching all
people, we recognize the unique role that children and their parents play in church growth. Crea ng a safe, fun and welcoming
children’s building is a key step in reaching and teaching younger genera ons and their children.
WHAT DOES THIS NEW MASTER FACILITY PLAN INCLUDE?
Phase One will provide a much-needed two-story facility for all of our children, from infants to sixth-grade. In a culture that no
longer acknowledges moral absolutes, we think the Lord would be honored by pu ng our best efforts into training our children.
This new ministry space will replace the old buildings on the north end of our campus, and create a safe and unified area where
all our children can grow in their love and knowledge of Christ, so they can shine brightly for Him in our community.
For starters, we want to provide a safe, user-friendly loca on for our children to learn about our loving Savior and to make
life me commitments to Christ. Currently, parents must travel around the campus, from the Nursery to the Educa on Center to
the Faith Kids elementary rooms, to drop off and pick up their children. While we have amazing kids programs, the difficulty of
finding one’s way from one classroom to another can be discouraging for young families (Psalm 78:5-7).
Phase one would also include modifying Parking Lot A and adding a stoplight at Encino and 17th/Felicita. While the City of
Escondido has requested the stoplight, we are happy to create a safer intersec on for our a endees and neighbors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Continued from page 6.
Phase Two will address our need for more rela onal space where we can connect with each other — laughing, sharing, praying,
learning and encouraging each other. Our hope is to create sufficient space where anyone from our church family and local
community can gather, feel welcome and find fellowship with others.
We’ll be expanding the Courtyard, the Café and the Worship Center foyer and, yes, we’ll be giving the interior of the Worship
Center a face li , as well! In order to create more space in the Courtyard, we will remove the offices at the east end of the Worship
Center. This will allow us to create a visible main office recep on area on the north side of the Educa on Center with easy access
to the Courtyard. Many of the remaining children’s rooms in the Educa on Center and Nursery will be renovated into convenient,
first-floor adult classrooms. In addi on, the offices that were in the east end of the Worship Center will be moved to the second
floor of the Educa on Center.
WHAT IS THE PROJECTED TIMELINE FOR THESE PROJECTS?
We are hoping to begin preparing for the new children’s building
(ar s c rendering at le ) at the end of 2016, with the goal of having
it ready for use by spring 2018, at the latest. We pray we can save
money by rolling right into Phase Two (expanding our Courtyard, Café
and Worship Center Foyer, while moving the Educa on Center’s adult
classrooms downstairs) a er comple ng Phase One, which includes
the Children’s Building. Our hope is to complete Phases One and Two
around the year 2020. (See the meline on the back page.)
WHY START WITH A CHILDREN’S BUILDING, AND WHY NOT JUST RENOVATE THE CURRENT CHILDREN’S BUILDINGS?
Our current buildings in the north end of our campus were built in the early 1970s at the same me as our Worship Center.
These are among the oldest buildings on campus, and for many years we have been working hard on the upkeep of these small,
separated buildings, where we ba le with flooding, leaking and general deteriora on. Beginning with the children’s building
allows us to start fresh, crea ng a safe, welcoming and convenient place for our children to grow in their love for the Lord. A
new, two-story ministry space designed for infants to sixth-graders will centralize our Faith Kids ministries in one secure,
enclosed environment. This alleviates the frustra on parents have of dropping off babies and toddlers in the nursery; then 3s,
4s and 5s in the Educa on Center and backside of the nursery; then taking elementary students to the children’s buildings half
way across the campus.
Having one enclosed area with secure play areas will allow us to maintain a safe environment for each precious child that God
brings to us. In addi on, both floors will include large mul purpose rooms, where children can come together for worship and
special presenta ons. This new facility will create a more invi ng atmosphere for new children and their parents.

The Vision
How does “Beyond” and the MFP support the 2020 Vision?
Our intent is that “Beyond” and the Master Facility Plan (MFP) communicate the call of God to go beyond ... to a deeper, personal
faith and a greater corporate impact as a church family for Jesus Christ. This is supported by our 2020 Vision.
The 2020 Vision talks about a “Preferred Future” saying, “By 2020, EFCC will be a church that risks using all means to invite people
of all ages, ethnici es and backgrounds into a life-transforming rela onship with God through Jesus Christ. We will seek to engage
and impact our culture by being pure-hearted, fully devoted followers of Jesus. We will train and be trained to know and live out
biblical truth by compassionately caring for each other and the needy and broken in our communi es. We will sacrificially invest
our me, resources and abili es to proclaim the good news of forgiveness and hope throughout Escondido, North County and
the world.”
To that end we will endeavor ...
1: To be passionately commi ed to a personal rela onship with the one true God through depending on Jesus’ sacrifice and
resurrec on. We will love Him, talk with Him, obey Him, yield to His Holy Spirit and live a life of joyful worship.
Beyond and the MFP: The goal of “Beyond” is to follow God’s call to a deeper personal faith and a greater corporate impact for
Jesus Christ as a church family. Beginning to build out the Master Facility Plan (MFP) is a priority both as a means of calling us to
greater generosity and as a means of preparing for future growth. It’s true that as a result of the MFP, we will have more ministry
space and greater poten al for impact using these buildings but the most important thing is our personal spiritual growth and
growth as a church family. We want to be a people who are more grace and truth-filled, a people who live generously by loving in
the name of Jesus by talking about, obeying and yielding to God. Because we believe spiritual maturity is God’s design for every
believer, we pray that this focused effort will be a deeply transforma onal journey for each one of us.
2: To be a connected and loving family, united and interdependent, honest and grace filled,
helping each other become more like Jesus. We will take care of each other’s needs and
welcome into our midst those who are broken and vulnerable so that they can find support,
encouragement, healing and contribu on.
Beyond and the MFP: The bigger Courtyard, the larger Holy Grounds Café, the enhanced
foyers, the increased outdoor sea ng areas and the more user-friendly walkways all create
space where people can more easily connect … with the church family, with guests and with
God. We want to create an environment where people feel like they belong. We believe that
fellowship is God’s method by which we care for each other and welcome guests who may be
hur ng or searching. This is how godly rela onships are developed.
3: To inten onally go into our neighborhoods, communi es and the world to serve with
compassion and graciously proclaim the hope we have in Christ. We will work with others,
especially fellow believers in Christ, to ac vely and innova vely cross ethnic and socio-economic boundaries to help those in need.
Beyond and the MFP: Because evangelism is God’s “heartbeat,” we are commi ed to building a stronger bridge between the
church and the community. First, we must develop a more invi ng place. Having ministry space that is a rac ve and user-friendly
will enhance the way we invite friends, coworkers and neighbors. We will have more space for new people and for new ministries
that meet their needs and consider their experiences. This is one of the reasons why we are including a preschool in the plan.
Secondly, we must become a more invi ng people. For as long as the Lord tarries, we must grow as a launching pad, sending
people out into our communi es and the world to invite others into a rela onship with Jesus. This plan adds ministry space for
training in outreach, for developing new ministries, and for beginning new church plants that will result in more people
proclaiming hope in Christ.
4: To be characterized by transformed and maturing lives, rooted in biblical truth and dominated by grace. We will train all
genera ons in our church family to know, explain and defend what we believe in order to engage and impact our culture for Christ.
Beyond and the MFP: Every phase of this plan includes enhanced ministry space for discipling, beginning with safer, more
effec ve space for training children and serving young families. Our current facili es, especially the children’s rooms, though
useful today, are not adequate to accomplish God’s call on us for genera ons to come. Not only do we have safety, infrastructure,
space and way-finding limita ons that need to be addressed, but we are commi ed to biblically training our church family to
know and speak truth with grace in an increasingly non-biblical world. This plan secures greater opportunity both now and in the
future to teach the relevancy and sufficiency of God’s Word to all genera ons.

Going Beyond
Next Steps: Where do we go from here?
1. Please Pray
• Invite God to deepen your faith during this season so that together, as a church family, we will freely respond to
God’s call in all areas of our lives.
• Ask God to fill the new ministry space with children and young families so that we can train them in God’s Word.
• Praise God for what He has done, is doing and will do through the Emmanuel Faith Community Church family.
2. Prepare Yourself
• Learn about the vision (why we are doing this) and the plan (what we are doing) for the Master Facility Plan:
Review the informa on in this report; see the website, www.efcc.org/beyond; a end a Town Hall Mee ng on
Wednesday, May 25, at 7 p.m., or Sunday, June 26, at 11 a.m., or Sunday, July 31, at 4:45 p.m.
• Think about how God might use your me, treasure and talent to help us reach beyond — today.
