We are working diligently behind the scenes to get the Certificate of Occupancy and coordinate the various work teams and projects over the coming months.  After evaluating the remaining projects and timelines, we have realized will not be able to begin meeting on Sundays at the new building by March 2nd as planned.  We will continue to communicate our plans as all the behind-the-scenes details fall into place.  

We know a lot of people may have questions regarding this transition and our new space, therefore we have created a space for your to come talk to leaders regarding this move and get your questions answered.  Join Pastor Joe, Alyssa and Hunter this Sunday, February 23rd at 10:15 in the Foundations area.

Will you pray with us as the event approaches? This week please be praying for our honored guests and volunteers. In our prayer time we are focusing on Psalm 139:13-14 which says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
