Making Room Initiative

WHAT IS MAKING ROOM?

The Making Room Initiative is our response to the growth we’re experiencing and our need for more space—physically and spiritually–as we welcome more people into our church family. 

Learn more below, and help us complete Phase 1 this summer!

summer updates

Ever since launching Making Room way back in October 2024, we’ve seen God moving powerfully. Attendance is up 20%, reaching 2,500 people in person and online. Our Saturday night services are thriving, and giving to OneFund has been strong. We broke ground on Phase 1 Construction in June—and work continues on the new parking lot, driveway, and rear access road in July and August!

June
Work began on site as crews staked out project boundaries, and the culverts arrived. We had quite a bit of rain at first, so construction saw a few delays right at first. Then, earthwork began on the driveway approach near 122nd Street, and crews began excavating to prepare for culvert installation. 

Digging & Dreaming

July
Excavation is well underway all around the south end of the building! Crews are prepping the front for the new parking lot and driveway, as well as the side access road and rear facilities building. Thanks for your patience with the dirt piles and rubber mats—and please drive carefully in the parking lot. Soon, drainage will be dug, curbs will go in, and electrical and lighting conduits will be buried. Base course materials will soon arrive to help lay the foundation for paving. 

Making Room Construction

August
Asphalt will soon be installed across the entire project area—bringing Phase 1 of Making Room to life as we create new space to welcome more people!

Thank you so much for faithfully giving above and beyond your regular tithing to OneFund. We raised over $365,000 toward our $1 Million Making Room Goal. And we are well on our way to reaching the $610,000 this summer and fall.

Both OneFund and Making Room are vital. So please, pray about giving a little extra this season to help us reach these important goals. Thank you, Church!
