No — Storytime Park is a community-funded, community-focused space, open to all. As a 501(c)(3), Story Church is the catalyst for the project, providing the land and assuming responsibility for ongoing care and oversight.

Yes. However, to ensure ongoing public access, reservations will be limited to non-peak hours and must be approved by the Storytime Park board. Reservation fees will help support park maintenance.

Yes. Storytime Park will host and organize cornhole, futsal, volleyball, basketball, and pickleball tournaments. These events will support local community efforts in alignment with our mission and vision. Outside organizations may also request to host tournaments with board approval.

No. While the Rogersville city administration fully supports the project, this is a privately owned park that is publicly accessible. The property is owned by Story Church Inc. 501(c)(3), which is responsible for its maintenance and oversight.

We hope to begin Phase 1 construction in Spring 2026. However, we must raise at least $500,000 in donations before breaking ground.

All donated funds will be held securely by the Community Foundation of the Ozarks and/or Story Church, depending on the donor’s preference. Construction will begin once $500,000 is secured to initiate site preparation and foundational work. Additional phases will be completed as more funding becomes available.

It is our desire to raise 10% more than the expected construction cost. All funds received above and beyond the actual constructions costs will be used to establish an endowment fund for the upkeep of the park.

Donate through Story Church or the Community Foundation of the Ozarks to make an immediate impact. Share our vision with family friends and business owners — every conversation and contribution helps.

Yes. All donations are tax-deductible through either Story Church or the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, both of which are registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
