Prayer Walk
Please join us on Cather Landing (just outside the Hospitality Room) for a prayer walk through our facilities on Sunday, February 21 at 9:25 a.m., 10:30 a.m., or 12:05 p.m. ...
The Project
We have identified clear ways to meet the needs of our growing ministry. Enlarged, updated and secure crib nursery/toddler space is essential for Schweitzer's current baby boom. Additional classroom & worship space for preschool & elementary children and enlarged worship/recreational & classroom space for our youth addresses other essential needs. One central location in the Motor Cars building for our office/ministry staff will enhance the proficiency of our staff's ability to work collaboratively. Our food distribution, disaster relief and various outreach ministries will have room to continue our community impact through acts of compassion and generosity. It is also our extended vision to retire our debt and provide for additional purchase of adjacent properties in the future.
New Plans:
• enlarged and secured nursery/toddler space
• additional space for children and teenage ministries increased space and improved accessibility for senior adult classes
• enlarged area for food distribution, disaster relief, and other outreach ministries
• one central location for office/ministry staff
• retire our debt and purchase adjacent properties
Funding
Growing God's Church will help meet our physical facility needs. The total costs of our building expansion/renovation with associated fees will be two million dollars. We estimate an additional 1.1 million dollars will retire our current debt and provide for additional adjacent properties for future needs.
