Welcome to our campus enhancement page! It is our aim to provide timely updates as we move throughout this project. Among the topics that will be addressed as need arises are: general updates, ministry impact, parking impact, building access, and campus safety.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Below are pictures that reflect the following:
- On the Marshall Street side of our parking and pedestrian areas: the new sidewalk that connects the sanctuary building to the worship center is about 70% complete. They will finish the gallery entrance end of the sidewalk after the new entrance has been completed. The Marshall Street drop off zone has been paved with curbing and roughed-in bollards. The bollards will receive decorative covers prior to completion. Concrete has been poured for the parking places adjacent to sidewalk.
- The concrete is poured for a new courtyard between the fellowship hall and the church offices building.
- Application of a new "skin" on the church office building started last week and is expected to be completed within thirty days. This will include the addition of a cross on the Cherry Street side of the building and, eventually, a renovated cover over the youth entrance creating a covered outdoor gathering area for youth, parents of youth, etc.
- Inside the fellowship hall and gallery lounge areas, framing for drywall has started. Electricians and plumbers have also worked steadily to strip and reinstall wire and pipes as we prepare for new and improved lighting and bathrooms.
The next steps in the fellowship hall, reception area (formerly gallery lounge), and bathrooms involve using steel to support walls as we cut out arches and create doorways. We expect that to start in mid-June and after this is done the project will accelerate to its finish! While the timeline is still fluid, we continue to expect an early to mid-September completion.
LANDSCAPING
If you have peered through the fence, you will see throughout the construction zone several islands in the concrete that are unpaved and this week have been mud! As we near completion, you will see more plants, grass, and natural areas fill these islands creating beauty around campus.
GRATITUDE
We continue to give thanks for your patience and grace during a time when parking, campus navigation, and changing ministry venues has not always been ideal. We excitedly anticipate the project completion and look forward to celebrating that together as a church family.
