Submit a Pledge

It’s time to build a bigger, more permanent facility for the church to gather, equip, and send out laborers into the Altoona Community.


Walnut Creek Church exists to glorify God by making authentic disciples of Jesus Christ who love and worship Him in all they do.

Our passion is to see an increasing number of people in Altoona, Bondurant, Pleasant Hill, and the surrounding communities drawn to God’s glory through the preaching of the gospel and committed to the lifelong pursuit of following Jesus as His disciples.

Building Together - Key Principles

Building is inherent in the mission.


  • The church is built from people, not from materials.

    1 Peter 2:4-5

  • The church is to build itself up spiritually, i.e. become more like Jesus.

    Ephesians 4: 12-13

  • The strategy for building the church is discipleship and evangelism.

    Matthew 28:19-20

  • Our physical building is a strategic resource for discipleship and evangelism.

    Acts 2:46-47

The Vision

What are we building?

  • 5 acre property on a main artery road in Altoona
  • ~11,000 sq ft. initial build with the ability to expand in the future
  • 300+ person auditorium
  • 1500 sq ft. atrium space for welcome and fellowship
  • Kids Ministry classes expanded 4x current space with additional age-rooms
  • Addition of adult/youth class and some office spaces
  • Expanded restrooms


The Cost

How much will it cost?

Total Project Estimate: $4,000,000

This includes:

  • Land Acquisition
  • Architectural Costs
  • Site/Engineering Work
  • General Contracting Fees
  • All Construction Costs
The Path

How do we get there?

  • The church has $200,000 in savings to date
  • We plan to sell our current property — ~$400,000
  • We hope to save an additional $200,000 over the next two years from budget surplus
  • Walnut Creek corporately plans to contribute an additional $100,000 from future property sale
  • If we can add ~30 giving units, we can cash flow a loan for $2,000,000
  • We need to fundraise, above normal giving, $1,100,000
Next Steps

What are some short term, high impact steps that we can focus on now?

In 2026:

  • Hit a pledge amout of at least $350,000
  • Have at least $150,000 of those pledeges given.


This will allow us to take 2 very exciting steps:

  • Purchase land in Altoona
