Building Futures with Dallas Metro: City Host Central
Right here in our city, thousands of kids grow up in tough neighborhoods with limited access to safe spaces, support, and the hope of Jesus.
On Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, Dallas Metro is hosting BUILDING FUTURES WITH DALLAS METRO, a LIVE, multi-site dinner event across Texas to raise funds that will double our impact in Dallas. This special evening will feature inspiring fellowship, incredible food, and a powerful opportunity to invest in the future of our city’s kids.
The Lighthouse Church has generously provided us with land to build brand new facilities. It will be located just north of the existing Lighthouse Church, and will consist of a ministry center, warehouse, and secure parking for our entire fleet. We are committed to completing this project 100% debt free. By joining us on the journey, you will be showing future generations that our God can provide for anything! The children of Inner-City Dallas need a place to call home. Be a part of what God is doing for today and for future generations.
You can support this effort by joining us as a City Host. After registering, Brigitte Peoples or Jonathan Hukill will personally call you to help you choose a venue.

Hi Friend,
Thousands of kids in our city grow up without safe spaces or steady support. Dallas Metro has been there for them for over 35 years, and now, they’re building a permanent ministry center to serve twice as many kids.
Join me for dinner at {Your Hosting Restaurant} on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, to hear the vision and be part of the story.
