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 construction SCHEDULE

Since launching Making Room last October, we’ve seen God moving powerfully. Attendance is up 20%, reaching 2,500 people in person and online. Our Saturday night service is thriving, and giving to OneFund remained strong through the holidays. We’ll be breaking ground in June to begin Phase 1—so keep an eye out for construction on the new parking lot, driveway, and rear access road!

June
Work began on site as crews staked out project boundaries and edges, and the culverts arrived. We had quite a bit of rain, so work has been delayed, but earthwork will begin soon on the driveway approach near the road, and crews will begin excavating to prepare for culvert installation. Grading and leveling work will soon take place on the new driveway and parking lot. 

First Three Weeks of July
In July, base course materials will arrive to help set the foundation for paving. Excavation will continue on the new parking lot, road around the building, and back parking lot. Crews will add, level, and compact the base course. Drainage ditches will be installed, curbs will go in, and electrical and lighting conduits will be buried.

End of July / Early August
Asphalt will be installed across the entire project area—bringing this phase 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've already raised over $365,000 toward our $1 Million Making Room Goal. And we are well on our way to reaching the $610,000 needed to complete Phase 1 this summer.
