Church Building Project

Last Updated: June 3, 2026

We’re excited to announce that St. Jacob Community has found its future home and is in the process of purchasing a large building in North County with ample space for us to grow in size and faith for generations to come!

We are at a critical point in our mission’s history and we need your help now more than ever to make this dream come true. Please take a moment to read Fr. Shaun’s letter (or its Arabic translation) introducing the project and pledge your financial support here. We also need your prayers, as “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Mat. 19:26)
