New Campus

We want to update you on the building plans since our last business meeting. At the meeting we discussed the master plan and some of our larger concerns and considerations as we prepare for the first phase of building on our new site. While the master plan (below) gives us direction and an idea of what will one day be on the property, we realize that it will be many years before all of that is completed.

At this time, our biggest question is what will be included in our first phase? The things we considered are how do we build the first phase so that we are able to disrupt as few of our ministries as possible and what do we need to build to move forward in our ministry to our community. Places for our Bible studies and Sunday School classes to meet and space for our AWANA, youth and children’s ministries to continue were of vital importance. Space for our Men’s and Women’s ministries and large group gatherings and our concerts were all considered. We also want space for us to continue reaching more people. Currently, our gym is heavily crowded before reaching the 400-occupant capacity. We need to be prepared for more people to come worship with us and hear God’s Word proclaimed.

Towards this end, we are looking for phase one to include a large multi-purpose Worship and Activity center that can be used for our Sunday Worship, concerts, large fellowships, AWANA, youth and other activities. There will also be storage space for padded chairs to replace the current plastic ones we use. This space will also include a kitchen to hold larger fellowships and other ministry opportunities. The main floor will be able to seat around 700 people. The plan is for us to old two services on Sunday Mornings, one more traditional with our choir and orchestra and the other the contemporary led by our praise team. This will also allow us to accommodate more people at fewer performances for our musicals.
