New Building FAQ's

FAQ’S FOR OUR NEW LOCATION

1. Why did we move to a new building and a new day and time?

Many in our community told us that getting to our services on Saturday night was difficult. Many cultural events take place on Saturday night and we want to be able to build friendships and minister to others during that time. Sunday is still the best time for most people to go to church. We also moved buildings because we could not meet on Sunday mornings at our old location.

2. Why are things such a mess around here?

We had a flood the week after we moved into our new space. We also inherited a building that has a great structure but needs lots of work. The building is a lot like us, broken, kind of messy and in need of restoration!

3. How long will it be until our kids will have their own rooms downstairs?

We have a wedding tent in the grass area next to our parking lot as of this week. Think DIA when you drive to church the next few weeks.

4. What are our plans for using this building?

We will have worship services, our family life ministry, groups for kids and students, prayer meetings, homeless feedings, Restoration Institute classes, training events, seminars, weddings, internships for church planters, bible studies, and recovery groups in our new place. This is the advantage of having a building dedicated to our ministry 24/7.

5. Do you think we will outgrow it?

As we grow into our new space, we have the opportunity to grow closer. As we welcome new friends from our new community, we’ll have the opportunity to add more worship services. As always, we will seek God together to discern his plan for us.

6. What still needs to be done in the church?

• The family life ministry rooms downstairs – carpet, paint, lighting, art.
• New carpet throughout the building.
• The AV system needs to be installed.
• Painting inside and out.
• We will also be doing some renovations to the bathrooms.
• In the Spring we will fix the swamp cooler and gutter system.

7. Do we own this space or are we renting?

We are renting.

8. Should we invest money in a building we may not keep long term?

Yes, for two reasons. 1. We may be here long term. 2. We are restoring a Kingdom resource that can be used for other church plants in the future should we choose to move.
