God is good!! The progress we are seeing at both construction sites is so exciting. Please join us in Praising God for how He has led us to this point in our Build More Room for God journey and invite those in your ministry area to join us in Praise and Thanksgiving.
Soon we’ll be able to go thru these doors into the Worship Centre at the Northwest Campus and worship our awesome God together in this new space!! The vision that God birthed many years ago is almost reality!! Rejoice with us and pray that the final details all come together smoothly.
The steel structure at the Central Campus is going up!! This picture looks toward the south and shows that the southernmost portion of the steel structure is well underway!!
More pictures are available at this link.
The building progress is great!! But we recognize that this project is not about concrete and steel, it’s about US, you and me, the people, making more room for God in our lives so others can experience Him in their lives.
Below is the March 2021 update.
Impact of Colder Weather
We are grateful that the recent cold spell has ended!! Overall, winter weather has been relatively mild and dry, and this has allowed some outdoor work to continue. As we near the milder weather of spring, we expect that some of the remaining outside work can resume in the next couple months.
Northwest Campus
We are seeing good progress at the Northwest Campus!! There are many details being worked both inside and outside. Recently the parking lot lights were installed; only one row of those lights is being left on (for security reasons) until the lights can be fully adjusted for long term use. Some materials (such as flooring) have been delayed as a result of COVID. The occupancy inspection will be scheduled after installation of materials needed for the inspection.
Central Campus
Installation of the steel structure in the expansion is well underway. The structure is starting to move out of that big excavation; how exciting is that! The ceiling in the Chapel has been strengthened in order to prepare for connection to the expansion. Mechanical work is progressing in the NE corner where an additional floor has been added. We were reminded of the reason for this expansion when we wrote names of people we are praying for on the concrete of the worship centre platform. This BUILD project is not about concrete and steel. It’s about people growing in their relationship with our awesome God, and about people starting on that relationship journey for the very first time!
