A Look Around
Every Sunday, God is bringing people through our doors—new families exploring faith, longtime members growing deeper, and friends eager to connect. And every Sunday, our foyer tells us the same story: we’ve outgrown it.
Our foyer is the first space people step into. It’s the place where conversations happen, where new guests decide in those first few moments if this could be home, and where friendships take root over a simple smile, handshake, or cup of coffee. Yet right now, this vital space is crowded, rushed, and often overwhelming. Families squeeze past each other, conversations get cut short, and many people slip in and out without ever making a connection. Our foyer has the potential to be more than just a hallway or a passing space.
For our students, the foyer should be a place of connection, encouragement, and belonging. Imagine them walking into CAYA on Sunday evenings and being met with familiar faces, space to sit and talk, and adults who take the time to listen and invest in them. The foyer can be a hub where students gather—sharing life, laughing together, and building friendships that carry into the week.
Right now, our foyer limits our ability to host community events in a meaningful way. While we long to be a true gathering place—a hub where relationships are formed and where people can take steps toward spiritual growth—the reality is that our current foyer is too small, too crowded, and too limiting. Instead of fostering connection, it often forces people to hurry through, leaving little room for conversation, hospitality, or community-building moments.
