Construction Impact
The Building Our Future capital campaign will transform our physical and spiritual life together.
In this campaign, long-overdue campus needs will be addressed to Unite Our Community, Reinvigorate Our Campus, and Invest in Education.
Although we will experience some short-term inconveniences that come with any construction project, our efforts will bring long-term benefits that strengthen our parish by better utilizing our space for life-changing praying, teaching, gathering, and connecting.
Our campus is changing every day, and we continue to reach huge milestones in our historic Building our Future capital construction project. In the next several months, you’ll witness the construction of our new Atrium, Café, Parish Hall, beautiful outdoor areas, and so much more. These renovations and expansions will create new opportunities for deeper connections within our congregation and foster growth in our discipleship like never before. This project continues to be on time and on budget!
