A Faith-Led Strategy for Economic and Social Empowerment
what is forever forward -
and why are we doing it?
Forever Forward is more than just a plan. It's a faith-led movement - powered by people, rooted in Scripture, and built for generations to come.
Born out of a deep love for DeSoto and a bold vision for the future, Forever Forward is DC3's 5-Year Strategic Plan to ignite economic and social transformation. It's our blueprint to empower youth, strengthen families, expand homeownership, develop businesses, and activate community leadership - all through the power of faith in action.
We see the need. We hear the call. And we're not waiting on change -we're creating it. We believe the Church should do more than gather. It should rebuild, restore, and revive.
That's what Forever Forward is all about - equipping our community to rise stronger,
walk in ownership, and live with purpose.
By 2030, our goal is simple but significant:
To make DC3 a model of what's possible when faith leads the way.
Because we don't go back.
We go Forever Forward.

PROSPERITY VILLAGE — A PLACE TO LIVE WITH DIGNITY
Prosperity Village is the first major project of our Forever Forward vision — a faith-driven initiative designed to provide affordable senior housing right here in DeSoto.
Too many seniors face rising housing costs, limited care options, and the fear of being overlooked. Prosperity Village is our response — a place where seniors can live with dignity, safety, and community. More than housing, it is an environment of care, connection, and support where individuals can thrive in every season of life.
This community will offer safe, affordable living alongside access to vital resources through Prosperity Business & Community Development Center, including financial guidance, wellness support, and community programming that encourages independence and stability.
Prosperity Village represents what happens when faith moves beyond words into action. It reflects our commitment to honor those who paved the way while creating a future that is sustainable for generations to come.
As the first step of Forever Forward, Prosperity Village lays the foundation for broader transformation — expanding housing opportunities, strengthening families, and investing in long-term community growth.
Because when we build places of stability, we build pathways to hope.
