Sanctuary Expansion Design Underway

The design phase of our sanctuary expansion project was kicked off on July 14, after a frustrating four-month delay in securing our construction loan from US Bank.  On the 14^th, Property Development Committee representatives met with the architect, RTA, and design team members from Plant Engineering Consultants.  The Design Document (DD) package is scheduled for completion by August 13; that package will allow Colarelli Construction to develop final pricing of the project.  Construction documents are scheduled for submittal to Regional Building on September 10.  We estimate two to four weeks for receipt of the building permit.  This would allow for construction to begin in late September or early October.  RTA is preparing a separate foundation package for Regional that will allow for an earlier start on the foundation work.  Groundbreaking to occupancy, depending on weather and other unforeseen delays will be from 16 to 20 weeks.

Freedom on Powers 3rd Anniversary Celebration!

On Sunday evening, November 1, 2009, we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of our Freedom on Powers debt reduction campaign.  We had commitments for $1.6M and we have received $1.54M in gifts as of 11/1/09. 

As the testimonies indicated, we have much to celebrate.  We are thankful to God for all He has done and to our members for their sacrificial giving in the midst of very trying economic circumstances.  Click here to be encouraged by the message that J.R. Hite brought to us.

100% of the funds donated to Freedom on Powers have gone to principal reduction.  This has resulted in interest savings of approximately $625,000.  This figure includes the interest that would have been expended over the next five years. 

While the formal campaign has ended, we invite church members to prayerfully consider continuing to give to Freedom on Powers.  As we pay down our debt and save money on interest, we'll be in a better position to respond as God leads for future Phase III remodeling or expansion.

Freedom on Powers - the beginning

After a snowstorm on Thursday, an army of volunteers cleared out the snow on Friday.  Freedom on Powers Commitment Sunday (10/29/06) was a great day in the Lord! The entire church family was able to worship together in a single service.
