Building Update

We Have Walls

The building is underway with the framing of the exterior and interior walls. The goal is to be by Christmas “09! Though as in any building there are many variables outside of our control, weather, material, permits, etc. Dirk Gunderson our general contractor will provide us with a time-table after the building is under roof.

On 9/11/05 our building was devastated by a fire that forced us to move our ministry operations to a variety of locations: worship in schools, offices in trailers, classes in area churches and schools, etc. Through this process we have continued to serve Jesus in our community. Along the way there have been heartaches and grave disappointments: Christmas in a grade school gym, trying to remember where worship, classes or meetings are held. There also have been times of great Joy and experiencing God's Grace: a meaningful worship the afternoon of the fire, people coming together for worship and ministry, raising $750,000 in our capital campaign.

Ground breaking for our new building was on Sunday April 19, 2009 and construction is underway. The first phase will be the demolition of the foundation, renovating the sanctuary, and completing the bathroom kitchen addition.

The next phase will be a new foundation and then actual construction.

Dirk Gunderson is our general contractor and is doing a tremendous job in moving the building process forward.

Dan Zilly and the building team have logged countless hours on this project. Thank you Thank you thank you.
