Rooted Together

The purpose of Rooted Together is to raise capital to purchase our facilities in Thousand Oaks as we seek to know Jesus and make Him known for generations to come. This is an unrepeatable opportunity to become deeply rooted and firmly established as a local church in our community.

Rooted Together begins on Sunday, February 2 starting with 40 days of prayer from Tuesday, February 4 through Saturday, March 15 and culminating with a celebration event on Sunday, March 30 when we will celebrate the progress toward our goal. The total length of the campaign will be a two-year period from 2025-2026.

The goal of the campaign is to raise $2M which includes $1.6M of facilities capital or 20% of the estimated purchase price of our facilities and $400K of reserve capital needed to support property ownership and ministry growth. We are in communication with ownership to negotiate a favorable purchase agreement for Living Oaks.

Funds will be raised by inviting members, attenders, friends, and family of Living Oaks to join us on an intentional prayer journey as we consider how God is calling us to financially participate in the campaign. Gifts and pledges will be made starting on March 23 and March 30 as we step out in faith and watch God bless our efforts as His church.

Gifts and pledges can be made starting on Sunday, March 23 and Sunday, March 30, but are payable over a two-year period from 2025 to 2026. Recurring gifts can be made on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. One-time gifts can be made at any time throughout the duration of the campaign.

We are trusting God to provide for this campaign through the generosity of our church family. If your financial situation changes, we trust that God will lead you to make the most appropriate decision about your commitment. We are committed to praying for you and supporting you throughout this process.

Yes. All gifts made to the Rooted Together campaign qualify as charitable contributions and will receive a written acknowledgment or tax receipt on your giving statement from Living Oaks Church which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in California.

We believe that God is ultimately the one who will provide for this project, so we will be prioritizing prayer throughout this process. Please join us for 40 Days of Prayer from February 4 through March 15, as well as for 24 Hours of Prayer from March 14-15. You can sign up in the church lobby or on the church website at livingoakschurch.org.

Yes. We are asking that gifts and pledges to the campaign would be over-and-above your normal giving for the entire two-year period. General Fund giving is used to fund the day-to-day ministry operations of the church. Rooted Together giving will be used to raise both facilities capital and reserve capital to purchase our facilities in Thousand Oaks, California.

Church Leadership will be hosting several informational gatherings in February and March to share more about the campaign, as well as answer any questions that you have.
