Rebuilding the Foundation

“You’ll be like a well-watered garden,

     a gurgling spring that never runs dry. 

You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, 

     rebuild the foundations from out of your past. 

You’ll be known as those who can fix anything, 

     restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate

     make the community livable again.”

                                                - Isaiah 58:11-12 MSG


Nearly 20 years ago, our church went through major construction to increase its capacity, ministries, and functionality.  It has served us very well! However, as time has passed, many worn areas have developed and need attention due to normal wear and tear. In addition, many areas are not as functionally robust as they once were and have consequently minimized our ministry growth opportunities.


The church leadership and Property Board have diligently been analyzing and prioritizing how we can address the needs that we have. Of course, with improvements comes change and the need for funding. So, we are creating two phases, the first seeking an amount of $150,000, and the second phase seeking $200,000. A general breakdown of costs is available in the April Tie.


The campaign began on April 3rd and will continue until completion.

We ask that you please be in prayer for this initiative as together we rebuild our foundation.

Responding to Covid-19

Things are always changing. In the beginning of the pandemic, there was a period where we met only online. We reopened to in person services with multiple safety procedures in place, and thanks to our care and concern for the wellbeing of our community, we were blessed with a season of togetherness, albeit differently than ever before. In the winter of 2020, we were forced to once again return to virtual-only services. However, since February 2021, we have been able to remain open for in person services, going through seasons of relaxed safety measures and those of great caution and concern. Together, we have remained united as a community of Christ followers, striving to love our neighbor to the best of our ability each day. We are so thankful for how our church family has responded with kindness, compassion, and care for our neighbors. We hope that this spirit will continue as we navigate each new twist and turn of the COVID-19 pandemic.


In seasons of high viral transmission, we recommend and urge persons to wear masks while in the building and/or in close proximity to others, and leadership is devoted to continual revisiting of best practices and policies.


Most of all, we want our message in the community to be one of love; love of Christ and love for our neighbor guide us in every decision we make. We continue to pray for those impacted by COVID-19, and we will persist in doing our part to take care of one another to the best of our ability.


Thank you!

Facing the pandemic head on, our congregation united together through virtual platforms.
