THE LEGACY CAMPAIGN
ESTABLISHING A LASTING PRESENCE. MAKING AN ETERNAL IMPACT
What is The Legacy Campaign?
The Legacy Campaign is our church’s initiative to secure a permanent facility that will serve as a home for worship, discipleship, and mission. From the beginning, Church at the Oaks has existed to reach the city, the campus, and the nations with the Gospel. Having a dedicated space will allow us to continue this mission for generations to come.
Just as others invested in planting Oaks, we now have the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy—multiplying disciple-makers, strengthening our church, and expanding the reach of the Gospel.
Why Legacy Fund?
Church at the Oaks was planted with a dream—to reach the campus and city with the gospel and make disciples who multiply. In just a few years, we’ve seen lives changed, communities formed, and the nations engaged. But we believe God is just getting started.
To continue the mission, we need a permanent home—a place for worship, discipleship, sending, and growth.
Our Goal
Raising funds to secure exceptional facilities near campus, ensuring Oaks continues to reach and send disciple-makers long after we’re gone.
Campaign Phases
Phase 1 – $1.5 Million
Establish a ministry center for weekday gatherings, discipleship training, youth ministry, worship rehearsals, and more. (We’ll continue Sunday services at Moody.)
Phase 2 – $5 Million
Purchase land (5–10 acres) near campus for future expansion and development.
Phase 3 – $25 Million
Construct a 40,000 sq ft facility for worship, training, and sending—becoming a long-term launch pad for gospel work in Tuscaloosa and beyond.
A Tithing Campaign
Just as we tithe 10% of our general budget to sending, we’ll tithe 10% of all Legacy Campaign gifts toward planting new churches—especially in other university cities.
When you give, you’re not just helping Oaks grow—you’re fueling gospel movement far beyond this city.
How Can You Be Involved?
As we step forward in faith, we invite you to be a part of this vision. Give, pray, and share so that Church at the Oaks can continue reaching and sending for generations to come.
1. Pray Boldly
Ask God to provide the resources, open doors, and lead every step of the journey. Pray for lives to be changed and leaders to be sent.
2. Give Generously
All gifts to the Legacy Campaign go toward land, facilities, and new church plants.
3. Share the Story
Invite others to join the mission. Share your story and tell others why you believe in what God is doing through Oaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
While the Moody Music Building has been a great place to gather, it is a shared facility used by various University of Alabama classes, organizations, and events. As a result, scheduling conflicts can arise, limiting our ability to plan and grow consistently. Additionally, the ongoing cost of renting a space we do not have full access to presents challenges for long-term ministry. Investing in a dedicated space will allow us to grow together as a church while creating more opportunities to share the gospel effectively.
