We're Growing!

God is growing our church family! This past Easter weekend, 2,320 people gathered to celebrate our Risen Savior. We have become a church that draws those who are seeking a relationship with God. Pray for those many visitors (400 over our normal weekend services), that the clear teaching of God's Word will open their eyes to the reality of their need for Him and His love for them.

Architects at Cornerstone

As God grows us numerically, He is showing us the next steps to provide room for those that are coming. This past week, our staff met with an architect design team from Building God's Way. In four days of intensive design, they came up with a preliminary design that will give us 50,000+ square feet of additional ministry space. The new auditorium will immediately accomodate 1300 with the ability to expand to 1900. The two ends of the stadium seating level will initially be large classrooms. The large foyer space will include space for a cafe. A large equipping room (twice the size of our current one) will be available for youth ministry, the Light, etc. The nursery will be expanded considerably to allow for the corresponding growth needs that we will feel in this area as a result of increased attendance in the auditorium. The architect did an amazing job of watching costs and giving us more for the price...still within our budget!
