Are you ready to take a walk? This week, we're one "step" closer to being able to walk around the entire church building safely, thanks to our newly poured sidewalks. Drywall is rapidly going up on the interior of the building, and one of the last demolition projects is underway- cutting new...
Wow! Lots of progress around here this week as the weather cools off. And if you've wondered what exactly spray foam insulation is, wonder no further! This magical stuff will greatly improve the energy efficiency of our building. And speaking of great improvements... won't it be lovely to...
This past week has been a particularly messy week of construction. Spray foam insulation will be sprayed this Thursday and Friday to make sure that our building is ready for the extreme heat (like this last week) and cold of the Midwest (note the building will be closed these days to accommodate...
Last week we celebrated the pouring of the foundation for our new East Entrance, which will help make our building more welcoming and accessible. This week another entrance (well, if you’re Santa) was removed. The now obsolete chimney stack was removed from the office wing to help open up...

Okay, so maybe we're not quite ready for lights yet. But we do we have a brand new electrical panel, which is almost as exciting! Work is happening everywhere this week. Concrete curbs are being poured in the parking lot, the electrical panel is being connected to our main utility pole, and both...

Thanks to your extra prayers, our sitework permit has finally been approved! Although we are now many weeks behind where we'd like to be, our construction team is working hard to get us caught up to schedule. Despite the permitting delay, new stormwater piping has been installed, rendering our...
It's been an eventful week here at church! Although we're still waiting for the sitework permit, walls continue to go up, HVAC equipment is being installed, and new main electrical service and panels set up. The basement is also filling up with construction supplies, as is almost every available...
