After many years of designing and planning, our church has finally broken ground on the major remodeling and addition project. Smoke from the western U.S. fires lifted so that our bluebird skies returned, and the sun glistened off the chrome-plated shovels provided by FCI Constructors. Sunday, September 12, marked the day of the groundbreaking ceremony and starts the clock on the approximately 9-month project. A small group of church leaders and children turned the first shovels of the project that symbolized a new beginning for our church.

Highlights of the project include a new fellowship hall at ground level and new church staff offices. We will transform the basement into a new mission center for visiting families and groups, and we will refresh the 1925 sanctuary while maintaining its current beauty and historical significance. An elevator will access all three floors; ADA-compliant bathrooms and entrances as well as updated wiring suitable for modern technology will also enhance the project. The new mission center will feature showers, laundry facilities, sleeping rooms, a kitchenette, and a commons area designed especially for our guests.
