Our Story

Why We Need Your Help

Calvary Chapel Apache Junction has spent the last two years undergoing a major remodel, and after a long wait, we are finally preparing to move back into our building! As part of this transition, we wanted to create something truly special for the children in our Kids’ Ministry—a vibrant, hand-painted mural to make their space feel welcoming, joyful, and full of life.  

We never expected to be in this position. We hired a muralist, paid him  a significant amount, and trusted him to complete this project in a timely manner. Unfortunately, after months of delays, broken promises, and incomplete work (and mess) he walked away—taking his supplies and leaving us with an unfinished mural.
This was supposed to be a beautiful, welcoming space for the kids in our church, and now we’re left scrambling to finish it.

We’re not asking for a handout—we’ve already invested heavily in this project, only to be taken advantage of. Now, we’re turning to the heart of our community, hoping that local artists can help us turn this frustrating situation into something beautiful.
If you’re willing to donate your time and talent, we would be incredibly grateful. Every brushstroke will make a difference for the kids who will experience this space for years to come.

Where the project stands now

The foundation of the mural is in place—all the walls have been painted in the fellowship hall, three classrooms, and three bathrooms, creating a solid base. However, the artwork is far from complete. This is where we need talented artists to step in and help finish the vision. Whether it’s adding depth to existing elements, enhancing fine details, or completing missing sections, your skills can make a lasting impact on this space for the kids in our community!
 

How You Can Help

We'll bring the supplies; you bring the talent

We are looking for skilled artists and professional muralists willing to volunteer their time and talent to help us complete this project with the quality and craftsmanship it deserves. 

While we appreciate all offers to help, this is a detailed mural, and we want to ensure the final result is beautiful and cohesive.

If you’re interested, we’d love to see examples of your previous work before getting started. You can choose how you'd like to contribute—whether it’s painting a single element, committing to a certain number of hours, completing a full wall or even an entire room. Every effort will help bring this vision to life!

If you're willing to lend your talents, please reach out—we’d love to have you on board!
