As with so many things during this construction process, we're learning to let go in order to move ahead. Today we let go of something pretty significant: the former parsonage located at 540 S. Cornell! Pastor Zak watched the excitement from our "Ministry House" at 536 S. Cornell, which will be...
Last week we celebrated the reopening of our front parking lot, this week we celebrate all the things happening inside the building! Ceiling tiles with functioning lights and smoke detection systems are in place, mudding and painting continues, and we have something that actually looks like a...
Drive by the church and you'll see lots of progress from the past week. Our new trash enclosure will keep recycling and garbage dumpsters tucked away from view but still easily accessible for everyday use. Curbs continue to be poured for the front parking lot. Inside, walls in the Day Care and...
We reached a major milestone this week- walls are going up for our new East Entrance! A separate enclosure for our trash and recycling bins is also rapidly being erected with concrete block, followed by brick. Masons are also patching and filling in other areas on the exterior of our existing...

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...
At long last, work on the parking lot is underway! The former playground area has been excavated and cleared, which means we've got huge piles of dirt everywhere! Inside, concrete has been poured over new sanitary and plumbing pipes in the basement, and walls around the enlarged elevator pit are...
