We were created by God to create. He has made us in His image and likeness and given us both the authority and resources of this world to create a future that doesn’t exist for the good of others and the glory of God. Out of all of creation, only humanity has been empowered to declare, “Let there be” with the ability for it to become so and for it to be very good.
God is now waiting for us to rise up, step into our created purpose, and create the future. Therefore, as a church we believe it’s time to move forward and take responsibility to create the future with God.
Missional Move: Create the Future is the people of Valley Creek stepping out in faith – taking a next step so someone else can take theirs – and creating these five initiatives that don’t currently exist (and won’t exist if someone doesn’t create them). Over the next five years, we want to dream, design, fund, build, and steward each of these five dreams the Lord has put in our heart.
Your LIfe
Five years from now, you’ll be living in the future you’re currently creating. The only question is, what kind of future will you create? Will you conform to the future the world wants to create for you, or will you dream with God and create a future for the good of others and the glory of God? Five years from now, who do you want to be? What do you want to be doing? What do you want your life to look like? What does God want your life to look like? What kind of future can you create that doesn’t currently exist?
Five years from now, we see you as a disciple of Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, walking in the character and power of Jesus, living on mission as a hope carrier, enjoying God and the life He’s given you, full of faith, hope, and love, passionately creating a very good future for others.
Prayer Center
The Prayer Center will be a place where anyone can come to meet with God throughout the day. This sacred space will be open for people to come morning, noon, and night to experience and enjoy the presence of God. It’s a place specifically designed for us to pray, worship, prophesy, and minister to the Lord and each other. It will be an environment and atmosphere where wild things can grow under an open heaven. A place of dreams and visions – signs and wonders – experiences and encounters. We believe the future will be built on a foundation of prayer.
We see a place where young adults can seek God for their future. Where people can rest in an atmosphere of peace. Where deep healing can be experienced in God’s presence. Where worshippers can worship and intercessors can intercede. We see a sacred space where God is present and His voice can be heard by anyone in the city who longs for more of Him. We see a place where we can tangibly taste and see that God is good.
Training Center
The Training Center will allow Valley Creek Leadership Academy (VCLA) to expand and become Valley Creek College, offering a variety of fully-accredited associate’s and bachelor’s degrees through our partnership with Southeastern University. As students pursue their degree, they will more importantly be trained to become kingdom leaders. With a focus on spiritual formation, leadership development, relational skills, and missional living, the Training Center will allow us to raise up next gen leaders who can continue to create the future with God. It will also allow us to take the best parts of VCLA and offer a nine-month leadership training experience for adults of all ages to be trained and equipped to become the leaders God created them to be. We believe kingdom leaders are God’s answer for the world’s problems.
We see young adults from all walks of life becoming the leaders of tomorrow. We see twenty-somethings living set-apart lives passionately pursuing Jesus and their life calling. We see the leaders of a generation rising up to take responsibility to lead the way. We see adults from all walks of life humbly seeking God to fan into flame the gifts that have been given to them.
Argyle Campus
The Argyle Campus will allow us to bring a harbor of hope to the Argyle, Justin, and Northlake area. What’s now 33 acres of raw land will become a Jesus-focused, Spirit-filled, Life-giving campus – a place that declares to the city that hope is here, everyone is welcome, and Jesus changes everything.
We see a campus full of lost, lonely, and broken people becoming found, connected, and restored in Jesus’ name.
University Campus
The University Campus will allow us to bring a harbor of hope to young adults in the university area. What’s now 2.2 acres of prime real estate that sits directly across from the UNT Welcome Center will become a campus solely devoted to reaching and raising up college students and young adults to become the hope carriers God created them to be.
We see a campus right in the heart of a university full of young adults learning to live a different way – doing the things that Jesus did so they can do the things that Jesus did.
7 Continent Strategy
Jesus calls us to make disciples of all nations. In our heart, we see the 7 Continent Strategy as the most strategic way to engage the world with the hope of Jesus. We want to find and create a strategic relationship with one specific church or ministry on each continent, where we can build a long-term, strategic partnership for decades to come. This partnership will allow us to invest significant time, energy, and resources for an exponential return. We want to find what Jesus calls a “person of peace” on each continent and partner with them to see God’s kingdom come and His will be done in that part of the world. And we know Antarctica isn’t really an option, so we’re replacing it with Israel! We see indigenous leaders crying out to God for help and us being part of God’s answer to their prayer.
We see wave after wave of investment changing the nations. We see people going on life-changing mission trips year after year. We see our blessing and prosperity being shared with the world so they can taste and see that God is good. We see a movement of hope around the globe.
Commitment
As we attempt to expand our boundary lines and tend the garden entrusted to us with passion and excellence, we acknowledge this is the biggest move we’ve ever made, and it will take all of us. The total investment is $50 million. Through faithful generosity and good stewardship, we already have $25 million of what’s required. We’re asking each person who is a part of Valley Creek to prayerfully consider doing these three things:
Choose to commit to Valley Creek as your church – it’s really hard to create a future you’re not committed to
Give a sacrificial financial gift over the next two years above and beyond your current tithes and offerings
Take one tangible next step of faith each year over the next five years so we can continue to become the kind of people who can steward this future well
The greatest way to create your future is by creating the future for someone else to enjoy. We end each week declaring, “everything is possible” – why not live like we actually believe that it’s true?
Let’s go create this future together!
Frequently Asked Questions
A missional move is simply taking a next step so that someone else can take theirs. This is our fourth missional move, and it’s just the way we believe God has given us to advance in unique seasons and create things that do not yet exist.
The total investment is $50 million. Through faithful generosity and good stewardship, we already have $25 million of what’s required. We’re trusting God and hoping that every person in the church participates. We will not take on any debt to create this future, so we will move as fast as people choose to give, serve, and lead.
During our last missional move, we saw God move in so many ways! We were able to purchase, build, and launch our Gainesville Campus, invest into and fully launch our Online Campus, and purchase the land for the Argyle and University Campuses. The remaining $6 million given to Missional Move: Hope for the City is part of the $25 million we already have for Missional Move: Create the Future.
Giving to the missional move can be done online anytime at valleycreek.org/give.

We’ll complete each of these initiatives in the order that God provides the way for us to move forward.
- Our Argyle Campus will be located on 33 acres just east of I-35W. It’s located at the corner of FM 407 and Gateway Dr.
- Our University Campus will be located on 2.2 acres across the street from the University of North Texas Welcome Center. It’s located at the corner of Eagle Dr. and Avenue A in Denton.
We don’t have an exact location yet, but our hope is that these will both be on or near our Flower Mound Campus.
We own all of our properties and are a debt-free church. We care deeply about stewarding what God has given us, and we will continue to do that as we move forward with these new initiatives.
As our campuses prepare for launch, we will announce opportunities to join the launch team. Until then, join a serve team at your local campus and bring hope to the community where you are planted.
We’re in the process of initiating these relationships. You can help us pray for more partnerships with people of peace, and you can click here to find our current mission trip opportunities.
