We are so thankful for the people who have donated time and material for this project. Thankfully, we are starting to wrap up the work on the original sections of the church. We have a bit of painting left inside from where we removed the windows. The giant holes were patched by a volunteer last week and he did an OUTSTANDING job. Someone else custom-milled the large entrance beams and we can't wait for you to see how well they turned out! Most of the roof has been installed, electrical and HVAC are coming together, and the wooden accent beams are in place over the front and side entrances! 

 

We are looking forward to the exterior fill material coming in over the next couple of weeks as they begin to bring the future parking lot to final grade. They will also start trenching for water, power, fire sprinklers, and sewer along the top of the grass on the west side. Part of this trench will come over to where our current dumpster and power are located. This means that most of the parking north of the Theater will be fenced off. To recover some of the lost parking spaces, we will be creating parking in the grass on the northeast section of the property by Whitefish Stage in the coming days. Our hope is that this will alleviate a VERY full parking lot on Sundays.

 

Fundraising landed just under 1.7M as we roll into the first of September and the project remains on budget. We are about halfway through the building project with the most expensive parts still on the horizon. Please join us in praying for safety, continued financial support, and God's direction before us as we look to best use this future space!
