We're on a journey at Pathway called Unfinished. It's a two-year discipleship initiative designed to stretch each and every one of us in generosity. Our primary goal with Unfinished is that 100% of people at Pathway would engage in this initiative to experience a life-changing encounter with God.

Unfinished People:

$11.5 MILLION OVER TWO YEARS (MAR 2017–MAR 2019)

Currently, more than 5,000 people call Pathway home. Unfinished People represents the strengthening of our general budget over two years—which is anything but general! This is our engine, our catalyst for supporting and growing every ministry as we help people “follow Jesus, in community, for others.”

ADULT MINISTRIES & NEXT STEPS: Starting Point, Volunteering, and Home Teams

UPDATE: Record numbers of people have engaged at Pathway during the past year by attending Starting Point, volunteering in an on-going ministry, and joining a Home Team.

WEEKEND EXPERIENCE: Delivery of the weekly message and worship at every campus, as well as hospitality

UPDATE: Every week, people are experiencing life change as they respond to the invitation, take the step of baptism, and allow God to change them from the inside out in an environment that is welcoming, encouraging, and challenging.

NEXT GENERATION MINISTRIES: Ministry for our children, birth–5th graders, as well as students; middle schoolers and high schoolers

UPDATE: The next generation is learning to “follow Jesus, in community, for others” through dynamic teaching and interaction in settings that are fun and engaging. In the first year of Unfinished, Pathway students and children gave more than $30,000 to Family Promise, a local ministry to help homeless families.

OPERATIONS: Administration, finance, and facility support; as well as communication, information technology, and creative arts

UPDATE: A new data management system is helping us care for and support the thousands of people who call Pathway Church home. A new three-screen video system in the Café venue at our Westlink Campus significantly enhances their weekend experience.

Unfinished Mission:

INVEST $1.3 million in ongoing support for our partners both locally and globally.

UPDATE: This will meet and grow our existing outreach efforts through missionaries and projects both locally and around the world. New partners in unreached areas of the world (North Africa, Middle East, Brazil) along with the support of short-term teams (Peru, Middle East, Kenya, Greece, Houston, Jamaica) are taking the message of Jesus further than ever before.

PROVIDE $900,000 to launch two new campuses in the Wichita area.

UPDATE: The Valley Center Campus launched last fall with a core of 180 Pathway people. It has been a huge catalyst for reaching people who are unchurched. We’re reminded that three out of four people in the Wichita metro area and greater Sedgwick County are not engaged in church. Additionally, we’re anticipating and exploring options for more campuses in strategic locations over the next couple of years.

PROVIDE $700,000 for upgrades to our current campuses.

UPDATE: From weekend services to hundreds of ministry gatherings throughout the week, our facilities are used seven days a week for vision-fulfilling opportunities. These funds will resource a variety of upgrades from parking to floor coverings to technology at our campuses.

PAY DOWN $3 million on our existing debt at the Westlink & Goddard campuses.

UPDATE: Current total debt at Pathway is $8.5 million on facilities valued at more than $22 million. This eliminates 35% of our debt and frees up more than $180,000 per year for kingdom purposes. This past year, more than $728,000 has gone to debt reduction.

PROVIDE $600,000 to significantly move several outreach ministries forward:

UPDATE: We will continue partnering with these organizations to make substantial progress during the second year of Unfinished.

• Mabatini Community Center in Nairobi, Kenya — $300,000 to finish the center
Over 75 people from Pathway have participated in short term ministry in the Mabatini neighborhood of Nairobi. Pathway has helped provide a facility that serves as a school for 900 children and facilitates holistic gospel ministry in one of the largest slums in the world.

• Carpenter Place, a residential care home for girls in Wichita — $80,000 to provide an outdoor shelter area and other improvements

• Jordan Refugees — $120,000 to help build a community center where hundreds of displaced refugees are in need of ministry

• Restored Community Church — $100,000 to assist in the purchase and remodeling of their new facility in Wichita
This multi-ethnic urban church plant has recently begun leasing an older church facility. These funds will help them devote more time and resources to reaching people far from God in under-resourced areas of our city.
