Building the New Church -
An Update On Construction
Click Here to view our Spring Update Brochure with photos and news on the construction of our new church home!
Substantial progress has been made on our new church facility. The school and administration wings are nearly complete. Most of the structural steel for the Fellowship Hall and the Church has been erected. The domes are on the ground and are waiting to be hoisted into place! It is our goal to complete the Fellowship Hall, classrooms, administration wing, parking lots and sidewalks by early summer.
This project requires everyone's continual support. If you have not made a pledge to the Capital Campaign, please join this special effort. If you have already made your pledge, please continue to remit payments as per your pledge agreement. As you know, the cost of the project is budgeted at $15.5 million dollars. Hence, the more funds we generate now, the less we have to borrow!
Building a new Church is a sacred task. please do your part to build a house of the Lord. For your convenience, we now accept donations by Mastercard, Visa and Discover. Please contact the church office if you would like to donate by credit card.

If you would like to donate items for this sale, please call the Church Office; we will be accepting donations on Saturday, June 20 (9am - 3pm) and Monday through Thursday June 22-25 (9am - 5pm).

Please note that items not sold need to be picked up at the end of the sale or they will be donated to other organizations or discarded.
