From Northwest Houston to the World.

Through NEXT, we will comprehensively renovate the Worship Center at the Champions Campus to strengthen worship, teaching, and digital ministry for years to come, including:

• A new digital immersive audio system with room acoustic treatments
• A fully upgraded digital video system with new cameras, screens, and supporting infrastructure
• New theater seating, fresh paint, and new carpet throughout the Worship Center
• A complete stage rebuild designed for broadcast and optimal in-room worship
• A complete replacement of house lighting
• A full resurfacing of the Worship Center roof to ensure long term durability

We are partnering with Myrick Gurosky + Associates, a trusted firm with a long history of excellence at Champion Forest and leading churches across the country, helping ensure the best work at the best value.

“I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead for North Klein. The new spaces for kids and adults will not only help us keep up with the incredible growth we’re seeing, but also create more room for life-changing ministry every week. This expansion is all about making sure every person who walks through our doors has a place to belong and grow in their faith. I’m so thankful for our church family and excited about the future!”

The additional space at our North Klein Campus will increase our adult Life Group space enough to more than double our average adult Life Group attendance.

Our prayer is that as North Klein continues to grow, we’re able to continue building out the master plan we have for the campus in the future. The space added during the Next Initiative plus the space added in 2024 for the Student Ministry at North Klein, will set the campus up to continue reaching and discipling more for Jesus.

The updates to our Worship Center and the expansion of our digital reach are going to open new doors like never before. These projects will create spaces—both in the room and online—where people can encounter God in powerful ways. I believe what’s coming will inspire and equip us to share the hope of Jesus farther than we’ve ever dreamed.

What is Pando?

One example of how our digital presence will reach places few can go is through the Pando app. Pando was originally created for people who are incarcerated and is the first app of its kind available within correctional facilities. Through secure tablets, inmates across the country can experience the love of Christ through life-changing content, available 24/7, at no cost.

The Next Initiative Prepares Us In Three Key Areas:

Strategic Operations

This covers our outsourced sermon editing, broadcast packaging, and the strategy firm guiding our media planning, placement, and optimization. It ensures our content is world-class, our buys are smart, and every dollar is working toward measurable ministry growth.

Local Broadcast with National Expansion Potential

This is our presence on CBS Houston, establishing Champion Forest as the spiritual landing spot for Northwest Houston. As resources provide, this also creates a pathway toward national broadcast opportunities through networks like TBN, extending our voice and Kingdom impact far beyond our city.

This does not include the purchase of airtime.

Digital Reach

This is our YouTube and streaming TV footprint across platforms like Roku, Hulu, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire, along with distribution through the Pando prison app and Spanish-language digital channels. It puts our message into homes, personal devices, and correctional facilities, reaching people wherever they are and in the language they understand.

GEM: Rome, Birmingham, Frankfurt, Pristina (Kosovo)
IMB: Madrid
FAMM: 7 provinces in Nepal

“In the DNA of Champion Forest, there has always been a heartbeat for those who do not yet know Christ. We have always existed for people not yet here. As we consider what the Next chapter is missionally for us, we are focusing on planting more churches in Nepal, England, Italy, and Spain. New churches reach new people.

We want to help FAMM (For All Mankind Movement) reach Nepal. We want to partner with the International Mission Board to establish a Church Planting Residency in Valencia, Spain—replicating what we currently do with Spanish church planting pastors at CF.

And we want to plant new churches across parts of Europe with Greater Europe Mission to take the Light back into dark places that once burned bright with the gospel. Next will help us do this together.”

Why should we begin a work in the Magnolia region?

In the beginning stages of our conversations as it related to North Magnolia, one of the very first people we met and consulted with was the Tryon Evergreen Baptist Association (TEVA) Executive Director, Roger Yancey. He was THRILLED we were considering launching a campus (different than an autonomous church plant) in this area for several reasons.

1. The population in our focus area is estimated to be at 192,000 people by 2035. It’s going to take MULTIPLE churches, campuses, and new church plants to reach the amount of people moving into our target area.

2. TEVA has what they call “critical and priority zones” where the hope is to establish multiple Kingdom works as the population continues to increase. The areas we are looking to begin our work in fit within these targeted zones.

3. New churches/works tend to grow at a faster clip than established churches because they reach new people – it’s one of the major reasons for new church plants and new campuses.

We had Roger come and share with our NEXT Vision Team toward the very beginning of our meetings together, and he wept with joy and gratitude that we were following God’s leading to begin a work in this area. He said he’s been praying for years for a “church like Champion Forest” to come and have a presence in the area. He believes us being there will make all of the churches in the area better and more effective – it’s the “rising tide lifts all boats” concept.

All of this affirms that God is opening a door in the Magnolia region, and we are stepping forward in faith to join what He is already doing there.
