On Easter Sunday, 50 people gathered in a hotel conference room, believing God was calling them to something new. New Heights Bentonville was born—a church defined by bold prayer, radical hospitality, the power of the Word, and a hunger for God’s Spirit. This was the beginning of a story only God could write.
On Easter Sunday, 50 people gathered in a hotel conference room, believing God was calling them to something new. New Heights Bentonville was born—a church defined by bold prayer, radical hospitality, the power of the Word, and a hunger for God’s Spirit. This was the beginning of a story only God could write.
The congregation grew, and with it came the need for a new space. The move to Apple Glenn Elementary allowed us to expand to two services and welcome more families. It was a season of stepping into God’s abundance, trusting Him to meet our needs.
Josh Wilson was commissioned as Directional Leader, bringing a renewed focus on growth and discipleship. This transition marked a defining moment of faith, as leaders and members committed to trust God’s leading through this change.
Outgrowing Apple Glenn, we relocated to Ruth Barker Middle School, a step that required significant faith and sacrifice. With each move, God expanded our capacity—not just in space but in influence and impact. This season was about planting seeds for greater multiplication.
After years of set-up and tear-down, we finally found a more permanent home. Moving into our current facility in January 2020 was a game-changer, allowing us to grow from 50 attendees to over 900. This space became the hub for ministry, worship, and community, a tangible testament to God’s faithfulness.
In every corner of the church, lives were being transformed. Kids Ministry grew by 25%, Bridge Preteen Ministry tripled, and Student Ministry attendance doubled. Families with special needs found respite and belonging. This was a season of fruitfulness, where God turned faith into action and action into life change.
With a growing congregation and a vision for more, we made an offer on a property on New Hope Rd. At the same time, we launched the "Go with God" initiative, a two-year journey of radical generosity and spiritual growth. We are trusting God to provide the resources and space to reach even more people for Christ.
The church cast its 2030 Vision, committing to plant churches, deepen discipleship, and expand its mission locally and globally. We embraced the call to trust God for greater things, believing He would do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.
We’re asking for gifts above and beyond regular tithes and offerings to ensure ongoing ministries remain fully funded while preparing for this building purchase.
If we don’t meet the goal, we’ll prayerfully consider options like modest debt or phasing the project. Our priority is faithful stewardship while trusting God’s provision.
Every dollar will go toward purchasing and preparing the building, including the down payment, buildout costs, and upgrades to make it a hub for ministry.
Funds will be managed transparently, with regular updates shared with the congregation. Our leadership team and elders are committed to responsible stewardship.
We approach debt cautiously and prayerfully, using it only as a tool if absolutely necessary. Our goal is to minimize debt and trust God to provide through the generosity of His people.
The property is $3 million, with additional funds needed for buildout costs and necessary upgrades to make it ministry-ready. We'll know the project's total cost after meeting with architects and engineers.

Our lease costs will quadruple by 2027, making it unsustainable. Purchasing a building allows us to make a long-term investment instead of paying high lease rates.
We chose the Rogers location to maintain our strong roots in Bentonville while also expanding our reach into Benton County and Northwest Arkansas. We believe this location will help us serve more effectively across the region without losing our connection to Bentonville.
It offers over 9 acres of space, is financially within reach, and is strategically located to serve our growing community.
We’re conducting thorough due diligence with contingencies in place. If it doesn’t align with our vision, we’ll reevaluate and trust God to provide another solution.
The timeline depends on due diligence and preparations, but we expect to stay in our current facility at least through the end of 2025 and perhaps longer.
The "Go with God" initiative spans two years. Key dates include:
→ Jan 26 - Go With God Sermon Series,
→ Feb 16 - Advance Commitment Event,
→ March 2 - Commitment Sunday,
→ March 16 - Big Give Sunday
Outreach is central to who we are. A permanent facility equips us to reach more people, host more ministries, and serve effectively—it’s a tool to amplify our mission.
Church planting is part of our DNA and will remain a priority. However, we also need to provide space and resources for our current congregation to grow and support future church plants.
The new space allows us to expand our children’s, youth, and young adult ministries, providing room for deeper discipleship and greater Gospel impact.
Ministries like kids and student programs, community outreach, care and recovery, and small group gatherings will all thrive with the flexibility a new building offers.
It supports our goals of making disciples, planting churches, growing ministries, and reaching Northwest Arkansas for Christ, positioning us for long-term impact.
This opportunity aligns perfectly with our needs, and the property meets our financial and strategic goals. Delaying action could mean losing this opportunity or facing higher costs in the future.
