Ground Breaking News!

Here we are at the site of our new church home! We are so excited! All the kids got to break the ground because they are the ones that are really going to use this church for years to come. As you can see they really got into it!

Time to Celebrate!

Here is a picture of what the building will look like. It will be simple, functional and a great home for our growing church family. The building will be 10,000 SF but will be easy to add onto later. We are trying to operate on a debt free basis. We will have some debt going in, but it will be marginal.

This is the steel that they will use to build our building.

More property views!

Here is a group of church people who gathered for the ground breaking ceremony. Look closely, can you see a goat? This gives you an indication about the community in which we live. Of course you can bring your goat to the ground breaking ceremony!

Dig like this?

As many of you may remember on April 9, 2006 our church building caught fire. At church that Sunday we had a baptism. The baptismal was an old cow trough with a heating element. The baptismal was drained and the heating element was left on. This created a very hot, slow burning fire. This fire left the church very damaged, so much so it was unrepairable, and condemned. Since the church was situated on waterfront property and was a small lot that did not allow for expansion the church had long been trying to sell. After the fire the property sold right away. A new private residence is constructing a family lodge on the site right now.

WayPoint already had land they had been wanting to move to. The fire gave us the push we needed to move on it. Since the fire we have paid off the land, designed the new building and began the VERY SLOW process of getting our permits. We are so excited to report that we now have the site development permit. This allowed us to clear the land and get ready to build. It also allowed us to have the steel for the building delivered. We expect (pray) that our building permit will be granted June 18th. Once that happens then we will really start building our new church home!
