A new church home


Well this is it. I know that it doesn't look like much right now, but the Lord has given me a plan for finishing out the space. We will begin contruction on the place this coming Monday, Lord willing. It will probably take two or three weeks before we can move in. Please pray that the Lord will continue to provide for each and every step of the project and give me wisdom in making decisions. When finished we think we will be able to seat about 100-125 people maybe more. We will have at least two Sunday school rooms and two or three bathrooms. We are very excited about the possiblities that this new space gives us. Another large blessing is that the space is located on the main avenue. Praise the Lord for He has already provided so much. We already have money in place to do a lot of the construction. The other incredible blessing is that this space is about a third of what everything else on the avenue cost. We were able to secure a two year contract and this means that all we invest in the space will be for the future as well. We are praying that if it is the Lord's will that He will open the door in the future for us to buy the space, currently the space is not for sale. He is Holy and oh sooo good to His children.

Another possiblity

A few months back we were praying for a new space and thought that we had found the perfect spot, but the Lord's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts, needless to say it didn't pan out. Now we are looking at a new space. In the traditional Calvary style, the place is a large open warehouse without anything. We will need to build rooms for Sunday school classes and bathrooms. We are excited about the possibility that this offers us as a church and the room that this will give us to grow. We have made an offer on the building (to rent) and are waiting on the Lord for the answer. Please join us in prayer for this new space.
