Why do we need to alter or add to our current facility?
Current facilities do not offer adequate gathering space for communication or fellowship.
Open campus style layout inhibits accessibility and security. Inadequate parking facilities.
Current fellowship hall is an inadequate space for contemporary worship service.
Opportunities to reach out to the growing community and offer them Christ
