BUILD ON HOPE
Welcome to the building refresh!
For nearly three decades, our church building has been more than just a place—it’s been a home. It's where we've come together to worship, connect, and grow as a community. But as we look to the future, it’s clear that our space needs a refresh to continue serving us all well.
This isn't about a complete overhaul—it's about making thoughtful updates to the spaces where we gather, connect, and build relationships. Whether you've been with us since the beginning or are a newer part of our family, this is an opportunity to create a church environment that reflects our shared values and vision for the future.
Our Vision: Multiplying Hope
Our church is rooted in the vision of seeing the hope of Christ multiplied—within our church, our city, and beyond. This building project is a vital step in that mission. By investing in our space, we’re creating a place where hope can thrive, where connections are deepened, and where we can all feel at home.
Phase 1: Building Hope for Community
Every part of this project is designed to enhance our ability to serve our community and fulfill our mission. From creating inviting spaces for fellowship to ensuring our facilities are accessible and welcoming to all, these renovations are an investment in the future of our ministry.
